A teacher was found dead in his car Wednesday, two days after he was reported missing, Doraville police said.

No foul play is suspected in Richard Weiner’s death, police spokesman Gene Callaway said.

Weiner, 60, was last seen leaving the Curry Honda dealership in Chamblee at noon Monday, Callaway said. He was found about 5:15 p.m. Wednesday in his dark blue 2009 Mazda 5.

Weiner’s family told police the disappearance was extremely unusual.

Weiner was in his first year as a math teacher at Tapestry Public Charter School.
