Sheldon was reported missing on August 18.

Authorities confirm to TMZ that his body was found in a Motel 6 in the San Fernando Valley on August 21 and that drugs were discovered at the scene.

It is unknown at this time what type of drugs, however, and it is unsubstantiated whether they played a role in Sheldon’s death.

The 35-year-old appeared on the reality shows Botched and My Strange Addiction in order to discuss his obsession with Bieber.

At the time of his disappearance, Los Angeles Police Department officials were told he may have gone missing as the result of a breakup with his boyfriend.

"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,” Sheldon’s rep tells Mirror Celebs, adding:

"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."
