Toby Sheldon [Tobias Strebel], a reality TV star made the headlines after he was reported missing on August 18. The 35-year-old Bieber fanatic was last seen on North Orange Grove Avenue in West Hollywood.
Sheldon's friend Mel Espinoza then said "This is very unusual for him to be missing. He hasn't done any, not shown up for no reason, no note or anything."
As per Deadline, Toby's body was found dead on a motel room in the San Fernando Valley last August 21. Though autopsy was already conducted, no cause of death was given by the police.
Toby's spokesperson then released a statement on Mirror in regards to Toby's passing stating:
"I am beyond devastated to have heard the news about Tobias. Tobias was a kind, caring, and gentle soul that was dedicated and passionate to his music and career. For all the slings and arrows put forth against him, he always held his head high, treated everyone with respect, and had a warmth and glow to him that made anyone around him smile... My condolences go out to his family."
Toby is known for his obsession with Justin Beiber. He found his fame of two reality series entitled "My Strange Addiction" and "Botched." He is in a quest to look like his pop idol, Justin Bieber. It was then reported by numerous websites that Sheldon had spent more than $100,000 to look like Justin. During one of his episodes in "My Strange Addiction" he stated that "Some people buy fancy cars or fancy mansions. What I do with my money is I get surgery to look more like Justin Bieber."
"What brought me to Bieber was the whole package," he said on the show, while trying to explain why he'd undergone the transformation.
"The full cheeks, the full temples, the bright open eyes, the full luscious lips, and spatial framing, his bangs and his full head of hair.
"[He's] just extraordinarily beautiful."
