That would make the absolute coolest addition to any Mancave.

Somehow got water in the cylinder? Compressed air start?

Crank journal seize I think.
Water in a cylinder would result in only a simple compression load on the con rod and the piston rod - no bending load.

I've seen the result in a big Merrilees ex submarine engine where half a cupful of water was blown in on the compressed air when starting. The inertia in the many tonne flywheel most certainly bent the conrod! But, yes, you are probably right, that's a rotational bend, not a compression bend

:) Many many years ago I saw the rod from a Mirrlees at the Lautoka power station after an oil supply failure. :) Engine alarm went off, operator shut the engine down, but did not isolate the alternator. which then motored on .
Those engines must be bad news! lol
