Anyone trying to troubleshoot or fix cars should buy an engine scanner cheap like $20 in eBay. Then at least you have some ideas what failures are and possible root cause.
If the engine just die instantly and totally, fuel starving is very likely. Check and make sure the fuel pump is working and the wiring has signals to the pump.
Take the 4 plugs out. Hook them into the plug connectors and crank the engine. All 4 plugs should give sparks. If there are glitches in the electrical system,then engine would run rough but would not die totally.
Good luck
