The 35-year-old, who spent $100,000 to look like the singer, was reported missing earlier this week after he was last seen in West Hollywood on August 8.
Toby's body was found in a Motel 6 in the San Fernando Valley on August 21, reports TMZ.
The website claims drugs were found in the room, though it’s unclear how he died.
His spokesperson confirmed the sad news to Mirror Celebs, saying: "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."
After he was reported missing, friend Mel Espinoza told ABC7.com: "This is very unusual for him to be missing. He hasn't done any, not shown up for no reason, no note or anything."
Toby found fame after appearing on reality TV shows Botched and My Strange Addiction last year as he continued his quest to look like Bieber.
In the episode he is seen heading to the recording studio as he strives to emulate his idol.
"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."
