If this is indeed one and the same person it's also possible the following info from the VDK-site belongs to him as well.
Nachname: Worthoff
Vorname: Hermann
Dienstgrad:
Geburtsdatum: 23.03.1910
Geburtsort:
Todes-/Vermisstendatum: 01.05.1945
Todes-/Vermisstenort: Hirschberg / Bad Warmbrunn /
Krummhuebel / Schmiedeberg b.
Nach den uns vorliegenden Informationen ist die o. g. Person seit 01.05.1945 vermißt.

Hermann Worthoff from Lublin Gestapo survived the war.
In 1975 he was sentenced in Wiesbaden to 12 years in prison.

John P Moore's Fuhrerliste shows him as serving with

Feldlazarett 5 in April 1945.

Yes, it looks like he indeed served with the 'Wiking' Division towards the end of the war.
But when George_W is correct then he didn't die of his wounds in May 1945, so again some conflicting info....

Worthoff from Lublin Gestapo could served in Waffen-SS at the end of war but
he certainly wasn't killed in 1945.
He died after 1975 in West Germany.
According to his testimonies, in 1944/45 he served as "Verbindungsoffizier" between
Sipo and Wehrmacht in Hirschberg.

It should be recognized we have two individuals here, both named Worthoff.
One served in the Waffen-SS and was killed towards the end of the war.
Another was a Sipo officer who survived the war and lived 30 more years until his trial in West Germany for war crimes.

It is interesting because John P Moore's Fuhrerliste suggests that the same officer was serving with SS-RSiHA in April 1943 and Feldlazarett 5 in 1945 he has that 23 March 1910 birth date and is shown as killed in May 1945.
