Alternator went out and the battery was dead since it wasn't charging, since there was no battery power left and no altenator the engine died..... Sounds like it to me at least....
Check the battery cables for corrosion. Clean or replace the cables and clean the contacts on the battery.

Check your battery connections and battery voltage while you are at it.
On my Dad's old Imperial (probably early seventies model) there was three or four wires coming off the positive side of the batery. One had a snap off "bullet" connector about three inches from the battery. When this connector got dirty, the entire land tank of a vehicle would totally die.
I suggest lift the hood, and look for connectors near the positive battery terminal. Separate them, clean em as best you can with sand screen, dose em with WD-40. Put em back together and see if your buggy restarts.
