Tobias Strebel, best known for a memorable appearance on “Botched” and for spending more than $100,000 to look like Justin Bieber, was found dead in a Motel 6 in North Hills, Calif., just a few days after being reported missing. He was 35.
Strebel was found in the motel on Aug. 21, according to TMZ. Police told the outlet that medications were found in the room in which he was staying, but the cause of death is currently unknown.
Strebel, who also went by the name Toby Sheldon, was last seen alive on Aug. 18 in West Hollywood, Calif.
In addition to E!’s plastic surgery reality show “Botched,” Strebel also appeared on TLC’s “My Strange Addiction.”
“What brought me to Bieber was the whole package: the full cheeks, the full temples, the bright open eyes, the full luscious lips and spacial framing,” he said on “Botched” in 2014. “[He’s] just extraordinarily beautiful.”
The reality TV personality was also an aspiring singer.
