Everything depends on clinical examination and X-ray of the tooth. After only both these things, something can be decided or commented. There’s no point taking arbitrary opinions like this.
Next Steps
Visit a dentist and get it diagnosed properly

It can.
But a thorough checkup is required for the same.
A proper x-ray will help in planning better.
If this has happened long back and there is infection it might go for extraction.
However there are more chances of hemisection and performing root canal
Next Steps
see a nearby dentist
