Take the valve cover off and look at the cam gear. You should be able to tell if the timing chain broke or not. Check yer oil and see if there's any water in there or not. Was the engine rattling before it died? If you ignored the rattling, the timing chain tensioner guide was probably bad/broken and allowed the timing chain to eat into the timing chain cover (common problem) and dumped coolant into the engine. If that was the case, you'll need to replace the cover and do a timing chain replacement along with the guides. They do make a steel enforced timing chain guide so it doesn't break off like the stock plastic one does.
