which helped rescue Chappy, also expressed its sadness over his death, saying on Facebook, &#8220;We would like to thank everyone who reached out, it was amazing to see how many people this story touched, and especially Mystic Aquarium for their efforts to help our little buddy.&#8221; \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The underweight gray seal pup was brought to the clinic Feb. 16 after being spotted by a passerby, who reported to police that the animal was potentially injured.  <\/p>\n<p>The seal, which was believed to be about 5 to 6 weeks old, was more than 1,000 feet from the nearest river. <\/p>\n<p>The aquarium in Mystic, Connecticut, said Chappy had been responding well to treatment for dehydration, malnutrition and mild pneumonia but began having digestive difficulties as he transitioned to eating whole fish. <\/p>\n<p>A necropsy found Chappy suffered from &#8220;mesenteric torsion,&#8221; a challenging condition in which his intestines were &#8220;twisted around the mesentery, cutting off blood supply to a large portion of the gastrointestinal tract,&#8221; according to the aquarium. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Unfortunately, despite all the efforts, his gastrointestinal issues were too severe to treat, and he succumbed to his disease,&#8221; the aquarium said. <\/p>\n<p>Gray seals are found in coastal waters across the North Atlantic Ocean and typically feast on fish, crustaceans, squid, octopus and sometimes seabirds, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside
