Paul the Octopus, who accurately predicted the result of every German soccer match as well as the final in this year’s World Cup in South Africa, has died.
The mollusk-turned-sage passed away naturally in his aquarium in the western German city of Oberhausen overnight, Sealife said today in a statement on its website. Aquarium workers were “devastated” when they found him this morning.
