He was killed on the night of 29 November 1945. There are two different versions of how he was killed.[1][2] According to one version of the events, Grgurević was wounded by a trio of Ustaše who then slit his throat.[2] Another version posits that he was still alive when he was wounded and that his head was decapitated by a hacksaw.[2] His head was then taken as a trophy and thrown inside the municipal building in Čelebići.[1][2]
After 45 years, his son Vasilije transferred Momcilo's earthly remains and buried them next to the Church in Čelebići.[2]
