Yes, which suggests along with the recent Cessna Caravan/Grand Caravan mishaps the likeliehood of yet another accident, which is also plausible deniability in the less likely event of a non-accident.
See:
Investigation of Cessna 208 engine failure and forced landing on Lake Burbury
[….]
A previous generator failure led to electrical discharge damage (EDD) to the engine, resulting in its failure in-flight. EDD is a known problem with the Pratt and Whitney Canada PT-6 series turbo-prop engines fitted to this aircraft type. The ATSB has investigated similar events in Australia previously and the ATSB report cites 43 similar events reported worldwide since 1992. Some of these events have also been investigated by the US National Transportation Safety Board.

Cessna engine failures due to EDD are evidently a known problem and risk. What is unknown and perhaps unknowable is whether or not this risk had any suspicious assistance in this particular instance.
And the federal (regime) agency that’s supposed to investigate says they probably can’t retrieve the wreckage so there won’t be any proof if there was...
But it looks like they’re setting things up to say Fuddy died of a heart attack after the crash. None of the stories seem to add up though, and the pilot needs to explain why he didn’t call for help. It seems to me that the company owner/CEO has been giving contradictory info and protecting the pilot.
Doesn’t seem to be engine related but still a 208:
