Shocked to hear the news that Paul the celebrity octopus, who became famous during the football World Cup earlier this year in South Africa with his ‘match predictions’, has died.
A statement released today by the aquarium in Oberhausen, a town in Germany, where Paul lived, and reported by various agencies said the so-called psychic octopus had passed away in the night.
Paul was discovered dead in his enclosure today. Management and staff of the aquarium were said to be devastated by the discovery.
May his soul Rest In Peace !
