he is on that date unaccounted airmen's post, i'd recommend keeping questions on those posts, but thats just me.

Always search the archive or google.

You will see there he was classed as DOAS, so death from natural causes, or accident or maybe a V2 etc Also he was with an RAF RSU.

S D Barbour was Scottish born, and I think only his mother was living in the USA at the time she responded to the CWGC, but Stuart himself wasn't actually American.

I have asked to ancestry.com tree owners if they have cause of death information.
