No.
***** (Optional non yes/no portion)
destructor Destroy() in TObject (the base class of every
object) is virtual. Free calls this destructor - so any
derived class overrides will get called with the cast you
describe.
But you should be sure that any objects you derive override
the virtual destructor Destroy so they'll get called
for your objects as well
