Biography
Mehran Karimi Nasseri (Persian: Ù Ùرا٠کرÛÙ Û ÙاصرÛ, pronounced [mehËrÉn kæriËmi nÉseËri]; 1945 â 12 November 2022), also known as Sir, Alfred Mehran, was an Iranian refugee who lived in the departure lounge of Terminal 1 at Charles de Gaulle Airport from 26 August 1988 until July 2006. Initially stranded due to lack of valid travel documents, he chose to remain at the airport despite being granted residency in Belgium in 1995 and France in 1999. Nasseri was hospitalized in 2006 due to declining health and lived in various shelters in Paris for the following sixteen years. He returned to live at the Charles de Gaulle Airport in September 2022 and died there of a heart attack two months later. Nasseri's autobiography was published as a book, The Terminal Man in 2004. His life story inspired the 1993 film Lost in Transit and the 2004 film The Terminal.
