Yes, this is a possibility if it was idling through and would be a great outcome, but any sort of revs / load at the time it stopped and there is a lot of inertia behind the conrod when the chamber fills with water, easy enough to drop the intercooler hose off at the manifold to see if it starts .
If the rod was bent it will drop the compression enough which may have let it run for a while while the engine was still at operating temp but might not be enough when cold.
Unfortunately it wouldn't be the first I've seen with a bent rod ( and destroyed big end journal) after the same scenario

Hi guys:banana:

Thank You all very much for your help. The problem has been solved and it was the ECU. It appeared to have been damaged by the water that got into the wiring harness. We were lucky that the conrod was not bent by water in the cylinder. We thank everybody for your contributions, but especially a guy local to us 'discorevy' (Craig) as he was extremely helpful in solving the problem,

Thank you Craig. Everybody have a beaut day and I hope all your Chickens turn into into Emus and lay bloody big eggs for your Brekky. See ya - Gerry

Unfortunate, but really a very lucky result!
