Possible scenario: cpu is stuck to heatsink with thermal paste and instead of 
- running the PC for a while to heat up the thermal paste
- pulling straight upward
- wriggling the cooler slightly 

somebody twisted the cooler including the cpu out of the socket.

Not gonna lie, kinda impressive…

He probably pulled it so hard that he simply tossed it and it fell on the floor.
