Check your relays and fuses first. Make sure the fuel pump turns on and that you have fuel pressure. You'll need to find which system isn't working. Try checking your valve timing. You might borrow a noid light set from a parts store and verify that the injectors are firing. Make sure you're getting spark. Avoid turning the motor over until you know what's going on, if possible.

Ive seen multiple people miss gears completely trash their valves. Hopefully thats not that case but you could be looking at a complete topend rebuild...

So he missed 3rd and went to 1st instead and over-revved the engine? I've heard of a few people destroying engines this way. I would take it to a mechanic if you arent comfortable diagnosing it yourself.

So he did a 1-2-1 shift? If so then your valves bent and possibly dropped. Your motor said bye bye.
