Justin Bieber lookalike Tobias Strebel found dead
LOS ANGELES -- Tobias Strebel, who became famous for having thousands of dollars worth of plastic surgery in order to look like Justin Bieber, was found dead on Aug. 21, the L.A. Coroner's office confirmed to ET.
The 35-year-old, who went by the name Toby Sheldon on reality shows like E!'s "Botched" and TLC's "My Strange Addiction," was found in a room at the Motel 6 in North Hills, California after being reported missing on Aug. 18.
Strebel spent over $100,000 on voluntary plastic surgery in order to look more like Bieber. He was last seen in West Hollywood, California.
According to TMZ, which first reported the news, law enforcement officials found drugs in the hotel room, but Strebel's cause of death is undetermined. The LAPD reportedly said at the time that the reality star's disappearance may have been triggered by a breakup with his boyfriend.
Dr. Paul Nassif, one of the doctors on "Botched," sent his condolences to Strebel's family, tweeting, "My deepest condolences go out to the family of Toby Sheldon. He was [a] good person with a great heart."
