I have 4 lobster and just read some answer to a question that said you cant eat it if it dies. I left them in water and the water looked kind of brown in the bottom. I just put it in the frezer while I boil the water, can I eat it later If I cook it now? how should I reheat it

Tails can be frozen and eaten much later,the meat does not spoil immediately !

You should never eat dead shellfish just to avoid food posioning but i found this because i was curious...i know you aren't supposed to eat dead crawfish.
Have people been poisoned by eating lobsters that were allowed to die before being cooked? Is it true that a dead lobster deteriorates very rapidly? What happens when a live lobster is frozen?
Lobsters are not poisonous if they die before cooking, but cooking should not be delayed. Many lobsters sold commercially are killed and frozen before cooking. Lobsters and other crustaceans do spoil rapidly after death, which is why many buyers insist on receiving them alive. If the lobster is "headed" before or soon after death, the body meat will keep fresh longer. This is because the so-called head includes the thorax, the site of most of the viscera and gills, which spoil much more rapidly than claw or tail meat.Freezing slows deteriorate changes and harmful chemical actions that follow death.

As with all things meant for consumption, it is best to cook your meat when it's fresh. The "brown" in the water should be a good indicator that the rotting process has already begun with your lobsters. It's your life, my friend.

Looking to get food poisoning? Seafood, in particular, must be cooked fresh. You don't go to restaurants serving lobster and see a tank full of dead ones. That's because the water they're turns bad and they begin to decompose almost immediately. Bacteria that can make you deadly ill forms and the stuff is essentially garbage.
Throw your 'dead' lobsters away!

A lobster is a big crawfish if you don't eat it dead I will. I sure don't like live lobster. And they soak them in salt for 3 hours so an hour is fine. Bone apatite.

hey, just boil the water, when you are waiting put them on their heads with claws out and rub their backs, than you have hypnotized lobsters to trow into the pot, they are cute that way and fresh when they turn red. do not forget to eat the green stuff on a cracker.

It won't taste as good if it's dead. You can reheat in a steamer, or in the oven, but undercook it just a little the first time, so it doesn't dry out when reheating.
