Soccer Extreme : The sea creature, infamous for accurately predicting the results of all Germany's World Cup games, and Spain winning the final, is at the center of a conspiracy theory surrounding his death.News was announced on Wednesday that Paul had passed away peacefully in his sleep, but while the world mourned the loss of this miraculous creature, a Chinese film-maker has shocked Paul fans by claiming that the cephalopod actually died three months ago!
According to various reports, Jiang Xiao has accused bosses at Paul's former home, the Sea Life Aquarium in Germany, of fooling the public by secretly replacing Paul with a body double.
Jiang says that she is 60-70 percent sure that Paul died in July – two days before the World Cup final – and that no one had noticed because "all octopuses look the same."
Others though believe that Jiang is looking for a little publicity of her own as she is set to release a new film entitled ‘Who Killed Paul the Octopus?’
The movie is about revealing the 'inside story behind the octopus miracle' and Jiang believes staff at Paul's aquarium might be afraid that the 'real' truth about Paul's amazing powers might be revealed.
But staff at the Sea Life Aquarium have dismissed the claims, reiterating that Paul passed away peacefully of 'natural causes.' (yahoo)
