I can't believe how sad I am about this, but here is the article I just read:

Rest in Peace, Paul. You gave a lot of pleasure to a lot of people. :(

Poor Paul :( It's so sad; he was such a character, definitely the "mascot" of the WC, more so than Zukimi (sp? DARNIT I NEVER LEARNED ITS NAME!) I was surprised; I thought he had about two more years to go, that octopi lived to be about 4 years old :( this says differently

rest in peace, Paul! :(

Paul was probably loved world-wide. I'm shocked too. Since his retirement I thought he'd live to a ripe old age. This is sad news indeed. :(

*HUGS*

Poor Paul. :( I'm hoping they'll have a state funeral for him. And a memorial in Spain.

Rest in peace, Paul, and have tons of fun in octopus heaven!

At least he didn't end up somebody's meal.
Which makes me wonder...will they hold a funeral? :/

I read he'll be cremated, and there will be an exhibition and a memorial for him at the SeaLife where he lived.

Brb, crying :( I am so sad about this! I heard the aquarium might make a little memorial area for him <3

This has to be my fav photo of him, so cute!

That is an adorable photo of Paul!

Have you seen his replacement? He's not as pretteh, IMO. :/
