Unkown ATC (?) Pilot July 1945 River Rhine

During my research for an Leutnant from 13./JG 4 (KIA 19.12.44) I was able to get the police records from the city of Lahnstein. There is another
interesting case:

On 3. July 1945 about 09.30h an unkown dead Airman was washed ashore the bank of the Rhine River. The body was no longer then 3 or 4 day in the water. The police officer give this information in the case:

Name: First Officer E.A.D. Kemster

wear blue uniform with an golden wing (Center with an big T), two small golden wire lace on the rangboards.

Is it possible, to get more informations about the peson? Is it an member with the Air Transport Command Contact Carrier Pilot? Was he killed by an
plane crash? Interested is also the fact, that around that time on the bank of the River Rhine near the Hohenzollern Bridge by Koblenz/Rhine was an crash from an multiple engine plane.
Any informations are welcome.
