Does Betelgeuse die in Beetlejuice 2?

In the movie Beetlejuice, portrayed by Michael Keaton, is a supernatural being hailing from the realm of Neitherworld, making his death impossible in a traditional sense. However, the film suggests that he may have been destroyed instead. Astrid (played by Jenna Ortega) uncovers a breach in Betelgeuse’s contract with Lydia, which contravenes rules mentioned in The Handbook for the Recently Deceased. When Lydia chants his name thrice, he explodes like a burst balloon. However, at the movie’s end, Lydia experiences a disturbing dream where she encounters Betelgeuse once more, hinting that he might still be alive somewhere and that her actions only served to banish him, not eliminate him completely.
