USAAF airman exhumed in Austria?

HI all,

I am looking for info whether
Robert F. Cunningham
Second Lieutenant, U.S. Army Air Forces
Service # O-717756
778th Bomber Squadron, 464th Bomber Group, Heavy
Entered the Service from: Missouri
Died: 17-Oct-44
Buried at: Plot C Row 8 Grave 37
Ardennes American Cemetery
Neupre, Belgium
Awards: Air Medal, Purple Heart

was found and/or exhumed in Austria postwar.
He jumped out of his plane, chute opened and there ends the track
Plane crashed near Zohor , Slovakia, which is close to NE Austrian border. Possibly he was directed by wind to Austria and died there?
Any info would be appreciated

THANKS
