A woman is living in an airport in Mexico by choice and the police can't do anything to stop her.

The woman decided to get too comfy at Cancun airport after flying in from the United States and she won't leave. The woman, who at first looked like every other passenger, has been seen eating, sleeping and even bathing at different times around the airport. She has been there since June 30 and hasn't left.

The woman caught the attention of airport workers as they've witnessed her walking around the terminals, sleeping on the floor, washing herself in the bathrooms and taking out money from the ATM to purchase meals at the airport restaurants.

Police have spoken to the woman, whose Mexican passport identifies her as 45-year-old Marcela Silvia Montano Mancera who was born in the Federal District on May 2, 1968, Yahoo reported.

The woman is being watched closely by police but they cannot arrest her as she hasn't committed any crime. Airport workers cannot understand why she won't leave the airport and go back home.

According to The Global Post, the woman has been heard speaking to herself in Spanish and English. Police tried to contact her family but they haven't been able to reach any relatives.

Some are calling the woman the real life example of the Tom Hanks movie, The Terminal. The film was partially based on the life of Mehran Karimi Nasseri, an Iranian refugee who lived in the departure lounge of Terminal One in Charles de Gaulle Airport, in Paris, from 26 August 1988 until July 2006.

Hanks' character is an immigrant who is denied entry into America and cannot return to his homeland due to an ongoing revolution, so he is forced to live in the airport.

Nasseri said he was expelled from Iran in 1977 for protests against the Shah. After several years, he was given refugee status and could flee to any European country. He first went to England, where he said he was mugged and all of his papers were stolen. He was allowed to fly to Paris, where he was arrested for trying to enter the country illegally, but since he had no documents, they couldn't send him back to Iran. He was returned to the airport and lived there until he was hospitalized. It is believed that he still lives in Paris, just not in the airport.
