Eric what would cause a camshaft to seize on a 2010 Acura TL SH-AWD 3.7l

[todd l gruchalski]

I replaced the timing belt and water pump about 6 months ago and the
car drove great then yesterday I was on my way to work the emission
warning light came on for bank 1 then the car died. I got it towed to
my house then i was checking the timing and found that the belt was shredded at the crankshaft. so I went and bought a new timing belt and
set the crankshaft at TDC then the camshaft on bank 2, when I went to
set bank 1 to TDC I found that it was seized. so my question is what
would cause this.
Tonight I will be tearing it down by taking off the intake and the
valve cover to see what i find. any help will be greatly appreciated.

Perhaps a faulty cam bearing.
