How Could A Post Inserted After A Root Canal Treatment Split?

I had a root canal done and then a cap put on permanently. It fell out but the post the dentist said split in half. He said I must have done something. How could one snap a post in half if it is inside of a crowned tooth? Could the post have been a defect. He recemented it yesterday and it came back out this morning. It is right next to my front tooth.
