I wonder if that's why he was much more skinner than usual recently.
Also I only learned he was gay a few years ago when I stumbled on his Wikipedia page. He kept that for the longest time private even when he was public about it. He never constantly mentioned it.

He was always kind of a goofball prop comic but near the end of his life he literally wouldn't have any routine at all and would just rant about faggots constantly.Comedian Gallagher is dead

Rest in peace snorting hat.
In all fairness faggots are killing comedy. So I would be bitter too if I was a old school comedian.

Merhan Karimi Nasseri died of a heart attack on November 12, aged 76.
This is the guy who lived in Charles de Gaulle airport for eighteen years.
Originally an Iranian national, he claimed to have been expelled from Iran in 1977 for protests against the Shah and was awarded refugee status by the UN High Commissioner for Refugees. In 1988 he attempted to settle in the UK, but his passport was stolen (or deliberately lost) in transit, so London immigration authorities bounced him back to France.
Nasseri was initially arrested by the French, but he was released as his entry to the airport was legal. However, authorities would not grant him permission to enter France. So, he spent eighteen years in Charles de Gaulle Terminal 1, with his luggage by his side. He spent most of his time reading, writing in his diary, and studying economics, whilst receiving handouts of food and newspapers from airport employees.
Nasseri's stay at the airport ended in July 2006 when he was hospitalized and by 2008 he had been living in a Paris shelter, though around the time of his death he had returned to living at the airport.

They're almost all gone now. Dave Brock is, I think, the last founding member, and is 81.

I actually watched The Terminal on many occasions and I never thought this would happen. Either way, he actually did a much better role than the real Tom Hanks who just pretended to have an accent while staying at an NY terminal at JFK.
Nasseri lived a real interesting life.
As someone that wanted to read The League of Extraodrinary Gentlemen this year, this one hurts. Between that and the recent cartoonist that did issues for Superman, it seems most of our childhood favorite comic cartoonists are really passing away into the afterlife.

I always thought it was European bureaucratic lunacy that they let in floods of rapefugees who burn down their own towns, no questions asked, but couldn't manage to make an exception for some guy who really actually deserved a break.

There's a few on my list that when they go I will probably cry like a baby/get so drunk I lose 48 hours for. I never met the men, but somehow they are a very important part of my life.
It's ridiculous, and it saddens me that he died at an airport and not in a home with his family. For god's sake, humor the cooky harmless man.

IIRC
IIRC, according to his ghost-written autobiography, they did. A lawyer working for free spent months working on the paperwork, only to have him refuse to sign it. Most of his time in CDG was entirely voluntary.

Yeah, I didn't know this either but the obituary posted here said he moved back to the airport at some point. Whether it was like how some people can't bear freedom after prison, or whether he was always wacko - I'm leaning towards a mixture of both, to be honest.

Begging in Charles DeGaulle was his vocation, and aside from translating right after 9/11, the only paying job he ever had.
