Tobias Strebel, also known as Toby Sheldon, has been found dead in a Motel 6 in San Fernando Valley, according to reports.

The body of the reality star was found on Aug. 21, TMZ reported. Los Angeles Police Department said that Strebel may have gone off radar because of his breakup with his boyfriend. Police said there were drugs found inside the room, but the exact cause of his death has not been determined.

Strebel, who claimed to have spent $100,000 on multiple plastic surgeries to look like Canadian pop star Justin Bieber, was reportedly missing since Aug. 18. He was last seen driving a gray 2009 Toyota Camry at 1700 block of North Orange Grove in West Hollywood, ABC7 reported.

Last year, Strebel announced on E! network’s “Botched” series that he underwent cosmetic surgery so that he can look like Justin Bieber, and he called the Canadian singer “extraordinarily beautiful.”

“What brought me to Bieber was the whole package: the full cheeks, the full temples, the bright open eyes, the full luscious lips, and spatial framing… [he’s] just extraordinarily beautiful,” Strebel said in an episode of “Botched,” as quoted by NY Daily News.

In May 2014, the Justin Bieber look-alike identified himself as “Justin no. 2” while singing a song called “The Plastics.” The said music video was then released by GR Media.

Strebel sang, “A Belieber from day one, couldn’t take what age had done, watched Justin’s videos, imitated how he posed… Jealous of his perfect face, wished I could take his place. Docs made my dream come true, now I’m Justin no. 2.”

Strebel, just like his inspiration, wrote and recorded his own music. In an episode of “Botched” that aired in 2014, he said that he has “mastered” writing music.
