Mehran Karimi Nasseri, an Iranian-born refugee who lived inside Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris, France, for 18 years and inspired the 2004 movie „The Terminal,“ died in that airport on Saturday.
Nasseri, 76, had a heart attack in Terminal 2F of the airport around midday on Saturday, according to a Paris airport authority official, per Sky News.
Al Jazeera said he was treated by the airport medical team, who could not save him. He was then pronounced dead, according to an airport spokesperson, CNN reported.
Nasseri lived in the departure lounge of Charles de Gaulle airport from 1988 until July 2006, initially because he lacked residency papers, according to Associated Press.
