This type of failure is purely because something is caught between the piston and cylinder. The fouled plug is a symptom of the lost compression, not the cause of it..

Perhaps a ring land broke because of detonation. A ring may have broken because of ring land wear...Something was wearing between the pistoms and cylinder.
