Mehran Karimi Nasseri, the man who was unintentionally launched to fame after spending years in a French airport has sadly passed away in that same French airport.
The Iranian man is believed to have been born in 1945 (although official documents couldn’t verify this) and spent 18 years of his life in Paris’s Charles de Gaulle, the city’s main airport.
You gotta respect this bloke, no one I know could spend any longer than 18 hours in an airport, let alone 18 weeks, months or God forbid, years.
Karimi Nasseri recently began living at the airport again but airport officials were unaware of the reason.
He died after experiencing a heart attack in Terminal 2F from which authorities were unable to revive him as per The Guardian.
