I suppose it could be possible, but I doubt it. The only place enough vac would exist would be in the power supply, before the transformer and before the rectification circuitry. In the slim ps2, I think the vac is stepped down before it gets to the console, so that's out of the question. In the older ones, it would be very hard to hit the right spot. If anything, the nearby TV would be more likely. After reading the article, I'd guess that he passed out after drinking too much.
