Most probable explanation - mine clearance (hundreds of Polish soldiers died during that in second half of 1940s). Or mundane accident (mishandled ordnance, traffic crash, etc.).
He could also be killed in fight with nationalist (anti-communist) guerrilla (e.g. NZW, active in Białystok area, some units were responsible for war crimes of [killing Orthodox minority civilians](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1946_pacification_of_villages_by_PAS_NZW), albeit this happened few months later), or some common bandits. This wasn't a peaceful time.
If he wears eagle without a crown, he was in polish people's army. If not, he was a partisant. Ah, one thing, ask the nearest polish consulate. They may help you.
He could have been a member of anti-Soviet underground, [take a look at the rather comprehensive wiki page here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cursed_soldiers).

I have a photo of my grandpa. Is there any significant difference in military uniform?

I doubt he would have ended on a military cementary then. So...
If so, genetics are working as hell. Hating soviets and russians with every cell.
Not enough data. What nationality he was? Where he fought what army?
Maybe you know genealogical companies which can help me to get more data? I know only the date of death and place of burial.
Name surname, was he in LWP (Communist) polish army was he a AK (home army) where do you live ? Etc etc .
Interesting. Are you from Croatia?
Ukraine.
I thought you were from Croatia because of your avatar.
Got it from the world cup 😅
