— -- Justin Bieber look-alike Tobias Strebel was found dead last week in a San Fernando Valley, California, motel room, ABC Los Angeles station KABC-TV reported.

Strebel, 35, was on the show "Botched" and "My Strange Addiction" after he said he’d spent about $100,000 on plastic surgery to look like the famed 21-year-old singer.

"Medications" were found in the reality star's room last Friday, when the body was discovered, according to KABC sources.

Strebel, who also went by Toby Sheldon, had said of his desire to look like Bieber, "Once Justin shot to fame, his face was everywhere and I all I kept thinking when I saw his picture was, ‘I want to look like him.'"

The Hollywood Reporter also confirmed the news of Strebel's death with the Los Angeles Coroner's Office and added that the cause of death has not yet been confirmed, but an autopsy was conducted Wednesday.
