Mehran Karimi Nasseri, an Iranian man whose unusual life inspired films such as Steven Spielberg's “The Terminal,” died at Charles de Gaulle Airport Saturday. He lived there for 18 years.
Emergency services treated him at the scene but were unable to save him, an official said.
Nasseri’s life was the inspiration behind the American comedy, which starred Tom Hanks as Viktor Navorski, a man from the fictitious Eastern European country of Krakozhia who becomes stranded and is forced to live in the JFK airport.
