Sounds like electrical if it just died.

You should test the battery in the car. It should have at least 11 volts.
Have you tried to jump start it using cables and another vehicles battery? The power to the alternator has nothing to do with whether the car will start or not it just charges the battery. If you have a serpentine belt "single drive belt system" and one of the pulleys or accessories has locked up this can be enough to kill the engine and keep it from turning over.

Check a few of the basics out first before you go buying replacement parts.
