If there was still live action then yes, sure, that would constitute a fold and the dealer should muck the hand. This was an all-in situation though and the player couldn't fold.
In fact, allowing a player to muck their hand in a tournament spot like this leaves the door open for angle shooting / soft play / collusion, so not mucking the hand even if the player wants to is almost certainly the correct thing to do.
