Glenn Shadix -- famous for playing Otho the interior decorator in "Beetlejuice" -- died this morning after falling at his home in Alabama ... this according to his sister.
Shadix's sister Susan Gagne told The Birmingham News that the actor was "having mobility problems" and may have fallen out of his wheelchair and "hit his head in the kitchen."
Susan told the BN she believes the blow to the head caused his death.
Glenn -- who famously participated in the iconic "Day-O" dance in the movie -- was 58.

The man did good work. Such as the administrative assistant in Demolition Man, or the double-crosser in More Dogs Than Bones. And I didn't have a clue what his name was.

I would have thought he was older than that. He was not that much older than me. Rest in Peace.

He’s not much older than me, either. In fact, he was a few years younger!
It’s just a matter of time, one way or the other. That’s why God made grandchildren: to take your mind off your own self.

He was very funny in a “Cheers” episode where he played a sleazy telephone repairman who kept coming on to Rebecca. I believe it’s from the last season.

A major part in the series Carnivale. And a voice actor in many cartoon series.
