“What brought me to Bieber was the whole package: the full cheeks, the full temples, the bright open eyes, the full luscious lips, and spacial framing,” he said during his appearance on E!’s Botched. “[He’s] just extraordinarily beautiful.”

Strebel, who was an aspiring singer, had not been seen alive since Aug. 18.
