Reality TV personality Tobias Strebel, who once claimed to have spent USD 100,000 on plastic surgery to look like pop star Justin Bieber, has died. He was 35.
Strebel was found dead in a Motel 6 room in Los Angeles, three days after he was reported missing, said Entertainment Weekly.
The cause of death has not yet been determined.
In 2014, Strebel appeared on "My Strange Addiction" and talked about the many surgical procedures he underwent to look like Bieber, including hair transplants, lip surgery, and a chin reduction.
Strebel is best known for appearing on E!'s "Botched" where he was shown recording his own music.
He described Bieber as the "whole package," with "bright, open eyes", "full, luscious lips" and his swept-over bangs.
Strebel said in that episode his goal was to look like how Bieber used to look when he was "really young."
He said his "ultimate dream" was to duet with the pop star.
