A MECHANIC was found dead at his Trowbridge home 24 hours after he was reported missing to police.
Officers found the body of 65-year-old Richard Cullen in a car at his Wyke Road home at 10am on Wednesday.
Police are not treating his death as suspicious.
Officers were first called to the house at 9.30am on Tuesday to follow up a report that Mr Cullen was missing, but could not trace him.
Police spokesman Steve Coxhead said: "Tragically at some stage he appears to have returned to his home where his body was discovered in a car in his garage."
An inquest into Mr Cullen's death was expected to be opened yesterday.
