In this article, actor Glenn Shadix, is pronounced dead after falling out of his wheelchair and hitting his head in his kitchen. The actor is mostly known for his role as Otho, in the movie 'Beetlejuice'. He has also starred in a few other Tim Burton movies. He played the mayor in the movie 'The Nightmare Before Christmas'. Glenn Shadix has been doing voiceover work for a number of years. He was 58 years old when he passed away this morning. He lived in Burmingham, Alabama. Shadix had been retired for four years and had moved to Burmingham to be closer to his family.
This is so sad to hear about. Who hasn't seen 'Beetlejuice'? I am a BIG Tim Burton fan! I loved the movie Beetlejuice. For those of you who are still in the dark ages, Otho, the guy Glenn Shadix played, was the fat decorator in Beetlejuice. I also love the movie 'The Nightmare Before Chistmas'. He played the two faced mayor in that cartoon film. At least his family was there for him. At least he lived longer than a lot of other actors. There are a lot of actors now a days that die from overdosing on drugs. It seems as though he had a nice fullfilling life surrounded by loved ones instead of dieing alone in an empty hotel room with a bottle of pills laying next to him. I feel terrible that he's dead. He will be missed deeply. Tim Burton's movies won't be the same without him and I'm sure his fans will never forget him. I'm normally not into the entertanement news category but when I came across the title of this story, I knew I just had to read it and share it with everyone.
