Default radiator damage

Need an advice!!! I just replaced the valve cover gaskets, and next day my radiator broke. It it possible that the mechanic did not do something right or its just a random unfortunate thing that has nothing to do with the gaskets replacement??

The two are not connected in any way; but could the mechanic have accidentally (or on purpose) damaged your radiator...sure.

I would double-check under the engine covers that all of the electrical connections are good and tight.

I don't think he did anything to the radiator. I was there whole time. He did not mess with this part at all. I will make him recheck the electrical connections. Thanks a lot!
