Toby Sheldon, who was best known for spending $100,000 on plastic surgery to look more like Justin Bieber, was found dead in a Motel 6 in the San Fernando Valley on Aug. 21, reports TMZ.  He was 35 years old. 

Sheldon, whose real name is Tobias Strebel, was reported missing on Aug. 18. 

While police told the website drugs were found at the scene, Sheldon's cause of death has yet to be determined. 

Sheldon made headlines in 2013 for reportedly spending close to $100,ooo on multiple surgeries to look more like the Canadian pop star. In addition to simply wanting to look like Bieber, he had his own dreams of breaking into the music industry and released the song "The Plastics," in May 2013. 

Sheldon also appeared on "My Strange Addiction" in January 2014 and on "Botched" in July that same year.
