Emergency services rushed to the scene - including the Defence Forces' bomb disposal team. Stephen Maguire, Editor of the Donegal Daily, says Mr Montgomery had strong roots to the area.
"He is a very well -known married man with one grown up child and has a lot of family in the area. There is a sense of disbelief; people still wondering what happened here because nobody really knows what happened only that, unfortunately, Mr Montgomery is dead this morning," he added.
