Glenn Shadix dies at 58

Probably most remembered as Associate Bob in Demolition man or Otho the interior decorator in Beetlejuice, actor Glenn Shadix has died today as an apparent result of a head injury in his home.

ContactMusic reports:

The wheelchair-bound 58 year old, who played decorator Otho in Tim Burton’s hit film, banged his head in the fall - and that killed him, according to his sister Susan Gagne.

In a statement she says, “He was having mobility problems, and he was in a wheelchair. It looks like he fell and hit his head in the kitchen, and that’s the cause of death.”

Shadix also supplied a great number of voices to animation, most notably the mayor of Halloweentown in A Nightmare Before Christmas.

Shadix was an ever present face popping in many productions or hiding behind various voices, but he always did his work well.

In tribute, I will offer up the popular Banana Boat Song scene from Beetlejuice.

Rest in peace Mr Shadix.

    Councilman Templeton in Carnivale is probably what i will remember him most for. Obviously not a “great” actor but any screen personality that has given people enjoyment deserves to be mourned as does anyone for that matter. RIP Mr Shadix
