Shouldn't have continued to drive but I doubt he killed it. My guess is WP or Alternator, with money on WP.

I had a buddy insist on driving his car about 5 miles to our auto hobby shop with water gushing from WP. I had offered to help him change the WP and told him he needed to tow the car but he wanted to save the $50...

By the time he arrived, the belt had shredded and was wrapped tight around every pulley. What should have been a few hours job took all day as we had to flush multiple times due to impeller pieces everywhere.
Well, the car started and ran fine when job was done. Its been about three years and the car still runs great. Now if I could just convince him to change the oil once a year....
