Spared lobster dies during trip

Larry the Lobster gained fame after it was spared from a boiling pot in Florida, but Maine officials said the crustacean didn’t make it to retirement. Officials said the decades-old, 7-kilogram lobster succumbed during its journey from a Sunrise, Florida, restaurant to the Maine State Aquarium. The staff at the aquarium in West Boothbay Harbor unpacked the lobster and found it dead on Wednesday. The lobster was estimated to be between 60 and 110 years old.
