Hello John,
Have you looked at Morning Reports, Surgeon records or hospitals records?

Try search the Hospital Admission Cards. Here is information below you can try them on Ancestry.com which is a paid site.
Ancestry.com. U.S. WWII Hospital Admission Card Files, 1942-1954 [database on-line]. Lehi, UT, USA: Ancestry.com Operations, Inc., 2019.
Original data: Hospital Admission Card Files, ca. 1970 - ca. 1970. NAI: 570973. Records of the Office of the Surgeon General (Army), 1775 - 1994. Record Group 112. The National Archives at College Park, MD. USA

Re: Seeking uncle's WWII Army Accident Investigation Report
Elliot - Thanks for the response and hints. I have the morning report for M Company, 157th Infantry Regiment showing my uncle's admission and death as well as the War Dept's Report of Death and Report of Burial. The latter shows he was admitted to the 93rd Evac hospital in Munich with a cerebral contusion and he died their the same day, May 19, 1945. I've an account with Ancestry.com but had no luck finding the record. I'm thinking the Ancestry records may only include inpatient records and it is possible my uncle was triaged and died in the emergency room.
Also, are the surgeon and hospital records for the ETO evac hospitals all in College Park? Thanks. John

Mike - Thanks for the response. I had inquired with NPRC in St Louis and they responded my uncle's records were lost in the fire. John

Dear Mr. Powers,
Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!
If there was an inspector general investigation there may be a report in the Records of the Office of the Inspector General (Record Group 159). There also may be a report in unit records of the 45th Infantry Division in the record series titled World War II Operations Reports, 1940-1948 in the Records of the Adjutant General's Office, 1917-1981 (Record Group 407). For more information about these records, please contact the National Archives at College Park - Textual Reference (RDT2) via email at archives2reference@nara.gov.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and pursuant to guidance received from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), NARA has adjusted its normal operations to balance the need of completing its mission-critical work while also adhering to the recommended social distancing for the safety of NARA staff.
