Has a Canon 5d3 ever been "bricked" by ML software?

To anyone's knowledge?
I'm not talking about people who forget to load the bootloader, or make a card bootable, or have a dead battery, or use an external power supply.

I'm talking one that died completely from shooting raw video and/or the ML software.

I cannot find evidence of this happening with May 2013 firmware or newer AND a 5d3.  Anyone?

I know personally I pounded the crap out of mine this summer, blowing through several 1000x CF cards and batteries, shooting 1920x1080 and 3x 1:1 mode on the hottest, muggiest days and never had any trouble - other than having to pop out the battery occasionally, and almost never after around the middle of June.

When you scroll through the Camera Emergency Department, you'll find some people who claimed their camera to be bricked.
As far as I can see, there is however no case where it hasn't been fixed. At least not with the 5DIII. As you say, it's almost always a dead battery or some fuckup with ML installation.
