A week after being charged with sexually abusing three students, a former Bemidji teacher has been found dead.

Beltrami County Sheriff Phil Hodapp says 58-year-old John Wangberg's body was found by a relative--they don't suspect foul play.

Wangberg was a teacher in the Bemidji area for 30 years before he resigned in march of 2011, just two days before the first victim talked with police.

He was charged last week with two felony sex charges and one misdemeanor.

The complaint alleged that Wangberg had sexual contact with victims between the ages of 5 and 7 on school property.
