the first thing i check when trouble shooting are the plugs.i would remove one and look at it.if it is wet with fuel then possiably an ignition problem,if it is dry then a fuel problem.when you turn on the ignition previously could you hear the fuel pump operating(would be a low buzz for about 10 seconds).can you hear it now

i take it when it died you tried restarting.when a cambelt goes you usually have valves and pistons colliding with each other which would lead to lack of compression when a valve has bent.although i did have a car where the cam seized and snapped the belt.result was the motor sounded like it was turning over really quickly.as for checking the cambelt remove the cambelt cover and look all around the belt for missing teeth,usually they will be missing from around a pully if they have stripped
