You may. However, after the destruction, the object is no more
available (in other words, doesn't exist) in the MHEG-5 engine. Thus
and according to the 3.24, the AvailablilityStatus shall always be
interpreted as FALSE. So, the object is always non-available
regardless adding your sentence.

Therefore, I don't think we have to add the sentence.
