AceShowbiz - "Botched" star Toby Sheldon, who rose to fame for spending more than $100,000 to look like Justin Bieber, was found dead in a Motel 6 room in the San Fernando Valley, California on August 21. According to TMZ, the cause of death has not been determined but police found drugs in the room.
The Los Angeles Coroner's Office said that the TV personality whose legal name is Tobias Strebel died at the age of 35 on August 21 at 5 P.M. He was previously reported missing on August 18. He was last seen in West Hollywood.
According to police, Sheldon's disappearance might have been triggered by the breakup with his boyfriend. However, the law enforcement didn't think the case was suspicious. At the time Sheldon went missing, his friend Mel Espinoza told KABC-TV, "This is very unusual for him to be missing. He hasn't done any, not shown up for no reason, no note or anything."
Sheldon appeared in a 2014 episode of plastic-surgery series "Botched". He spent a lot of money on the procedures to look like his idol Bieber. He thought the "One Less Lonely Girl" singer was "extraordinarily beautiful." Besides "Botched", he appeared on TLC's "My Strange Addiction".
