Glenn Shadix as Scorpius, is seen with actor Will Smith in a scene from "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air."

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP/CBS) "Beetlejuice" Glenn Shadix, died Tuesday morning in his Birmingham home. He was 58.

Personal manager Juliet Green told The Associated Press that he did not know the cause of death. The actor's sister, Susan Gagne, told The Birmingham News Shadix had been using a wheelchair to get around and he appeared to have fallen in his kitchen and hit his head.

The actor's website says a memorial will be held Saturday in Birmingham.

Shadix is best remembered for his portrayal of a portly, pretentious interior designer who dabbled in voodoo in Tim Burton's 1988 comedy "Beetlejuice." He also was a voice actor in "The Nightmare Before Christmas" and appeared in dozens of TV shows.

Before doing movies and TV, Shadix worked in theater in Manhattan where he was befriended by legendary playwright Tennessee Williams.
