December 2005, Paul Bootkoski, then Bishop of Metuchen, New Jersey, informed Montalvo of three complaints regarding inappropriate sexual behavior by McCarrick, first by phone, and then in writing. Two were made by former priests; the third was hearsay relayed by someone who did not believe it. On 17 December 2005, Montalvo retired as Apostolic Nuncio to the United States, at the mandatory age of seventy-five. Despite his long tenure as nuncio, he was a little-known public figure in the United States, where he shunned media attention..He died of lung cancer at a hospice in Rome on 2 August 2006.
