MARLBOROUGH — The search for a man who was last seen leaving UMass Memorial-Health Marlborough Hospital almost two weeks ago is continuing as a blast of dangerously cold weather throughout the region looms. Despite an extensive search — more than two dozen police dog search teams were scouring the woods on Wednesday — authorities have not found Jeffrey Allard, 57, Marlborough police spokesman Sgt. Zachary Attaway said. Allard was last seen at 10 a.m. on Jan. 21, when he left the hospital on his own after authorities had sent him there under a Section 12 — an act that's used for someone under psychological distress and who could be a danger to themselves or others.
