An Iranian man who lived for 18 years in Paris’s Charles de Gaulle airport and inspired the 2004 Steven Spielberg film The Terminal died on Saturday in the airport, officials said.

I'm not sure I've seen the movie actually, so I might need to find somewhere to grab a copy. Interesting that he ended up passing away at the place where it all began.
