I've bought two 2001 cars with engines that failed in a very similar fashion. One I'm pretty sure had a root cause of a rod bolt, the other, there was just too much carnage to be sure, but I'm guessing it was an oiling issue to the rod bearing - which was pretty much melted.
In both cases, like yours, the IMS bearing looked great.
