Damn, really? She was in the middle of like a career renaissance. Just popped into Last of Us season 2 as well.

This caught me by surprise. There’s no cause of death yet.

Shame, I guess she won't be in Beetlejuice 3.

She's undercontract, she has to.

I wonder if they knew if she was in poor health which is why she “dies” in Beetlejuice 2 in order to give her character a proper send off.

Such a sad loss. She was very funny talented. R.I.P. Ms. O'Hara. It's only fitting to play this song in memory of her.

This one really caught me by surprise. All I’ve seen online is she had a “brief illness” before passing. Hate it. She seemed to have such a sweet and genuine relationship with MacCulkin too.
She's undercontract, she has to.
Might have to negotiate with a real-life Beetlejuice to make that happen!

Her character DID die in 2. With no loose ends. And even was about to board the choo-choo train to oblivion with her dead husband there at the end.
