You need to remove the engine from the car to disassemble it and check it out.
However, if you remove the oil pan with the engine in the car, a bearing failure might be obvious. If the damage was severe, the melted bearing will look like spilled solder in the oil pan. There is a main bearing saddle that would probably have to be dropped down to see the damage.
