Lonesome George Dies at 100+ Years Old - Comments

I just updated the article with autopsy results.

That is so sad but I can guess why he died. The life of most animals consists of mating and producing offspring, but George was alone and that purpose of his life was never fulfilled. :( Well that's what I think. Poor tortoise.

awww poor guy! i was rooting for him for such a long time too! may he rest in peace as the monarch of all tortoises

Its sad because he died alone. </3
Rest in everlasting peace, Lonesome George.

This is really upsetting. Wow. Rest in peace, George!

This is so upsetting!
George was such a great Tortoise, I thought he'd live a lot longer than he did!
Rest in peace George!

What?! Lonesome George died? I expected him to outlive me :( RIP George!

This makes me very sad. Galapagos turtles are my favourite kind of animal, and that fact that Lonesome George was so closely related, it breaks my heart. *hugs stuffed galapagos turtle*
Bless, Lonesome George. <3
-B!

Bless his soul. I hope no other creatures have to go through what he had to.

Poor George.

Wow, Thats insane. R.I.P.

:c Nooooooo.
Poor George. D:

Aww, what a shame. Rest in peace, George.

:< GEORGE!! ;_;

George will be missed. :/

Update us on the autopsy results, if possible, please!

Aww. That's a shame..

I'm such a girl. I cried reading this. So sad : (

I heard about this earlier this morning. It really saddened me to hear Lonesome George had passed away, it's a really tragic thing that he's gone. Hopefully we can find a species that shares the Pinta Island Turtles genes, that'd be an incredible thing if they can really find that.

I can't believe it. We had heard about this amazing tortoise in our Ecology class, its sad that the last ever of these beauiful creatures passed :(

I saw this on Facebook. George's death makes me sad because of what he represents. At least he nobody can say he didn't live a long, full life.
