The Cumberland County Sheriff's Office said a missing man was found dead in his car on Sunday night.
CCSO says Lonnie Breland, 69, was last seen Friday, August 28th. His family filed a missing person report after Breland did not show up to dinner plans and was not answering his phone.
The Cumberland County Sheriff's Office -- with the help of friends, family and volunteers-- searched for Breland all weekend. CCSO said they pinged Breland's phone to try to locate him and also used social media.
At about 6:00 p.m. Sunday, CCSO said a volunteer had found Breland's car near Dayton Avenue. Emergency responders said Breland was dead when they arrived.
Investigators say the car appears to have left the road, traveled about a half a mile and stopped in a densely wooded area. CCSO said they believe medical complications could have been the underlying cause of the crash.
The Tennessee Highway Patrol is investigating.
