Paul predicted the winners of all Germany's World Cup clashes, and then of the final by selecting one of two boxes, each loaded with a mussel food treat and marked on the outside with one of the teams.
Stefan Porwoll, manager of the Oberhausen Sea Life Centre in Germany, said: ''His success made him almost a bigger story than the World Cup itself.''
Staff at the centre said his death was not entirely unexpected, since common octopuses generally only live a couple of years.
''He appears to have passed away peacefully during the night, of natural causes, and we are consoled by the knowledge that he enjoyed a good life here,'' said Mr Porwoll.
''We may decide to give Paul his own small burial plot within our grounds and erect a modest permanent shrine.''
Paul will live on meanwhile in the form of a range of commercial enterprises ranging from special clothing lines to mobile phone applications.''We may decide to give Paul his own small burial plot within our grounds and erect a modest permanent shrine.''
He will also feature in a documentary to be released
