    Not necessarily. There is no evidence here of what caused the damage. There is no evidence that it came in on the mains, it could be as simple as a failure after the equipment was left on fr many years, the failed when it was powered down. Often with stories like this, they get embellished to make them sell more papers and what little fact there was in the original story vanishes. 

    Regards,

    Alan. 

    Thanks for the reply Alan.

     I do wonder if an electrician had supplied and installed an SPD, sold on the premise of offering protection to the installation and connected equipment the owner might be persuing the electrician for the damages.
