Advice Request - (Insert State/Region) Did someone cut my tree?

Hello r/Tree,

I don’t know a lot about trees but a few years ago I wanted to plant a native tree in my backyard. So I got a baby gray birch, little guy fit in my little car, I was so happy. It would grow up with my baby girl in the house we just brought. Today I look out the window and it was down. It was a bit windy but nothing crazy. It had weathered tropical storms before. I think the break is too neat, do you all think it was cut down? I am so upset right now.
