 Broken Cam Shaft.

This has been fixed and replaced long ago. But I was thinking about it the other day. A few years ago when I bourght my sprinter about 3 days after I bourght it, the engine choked and cut out on me driving to work. After looking I couldn't find anything wrong (fuel/spark wise) and had it towed home. That night I went over the car and being new decided to give it a tune up and new fluids. whilst trying unsucsessfully to time the car I had a look in the oil filler hole as the car was turning over and noticed the cam wasn't spinning. I pulled the cover off thinking I'd broken a timing chain. To my surprise the cam shaft had sheared in half roughly in the middle!
My question: What would cause that? As I've never come across this before?
