Iranian who inspired The Terminal film dies at Paris airport (Aljazeera.com)

Mehran Karimi Nasseri, 76, lived in Charles de Gaulle Airport for 18 years and died of a heart attack in Terminal 2F.

He reportedly refused to sign them and ended up staying there several more years until he was hospitalised in 2006, and later lived in a Paris shelter. Navorski is dumped into the airport’s international lounge and told he must stay there until his status is sorted out, which drags on as unrest in Krakozhia continues. Those who befriended him in the airport said the years of living in the windowless space took a toll on his mental state. He applied for political asylum in several countries in Europe, including the UK, but was rejected. He slept on a red plastic bench surrounded by boxes of newspapers and magazines and showered in staff facilities. He left Iran to study in England in 1974.
