Died when running, ... not that it could not start before issue. Now won't start
OK, the car isn't starting now but sounds as though the starter is turning over the engine. Remember that the engine stopped while driving down the highway and coasted off the highway thanks to a slight hill.

Sounds as though the battery is no good, unless you know otherwise & also had it tested Charging a battery doesn't address it's internal condition You have battery cables that corrode inside & can be voltage drop tested You have the starter & solenoid,ignition sw & such, to name a few,lots of possible causes & things to check
Even though all your other electrical bits are working it could be that your battery doesn't have enough juice to crank the engine. It doesn't take much power to run the radio, lights, etc, but cranking the engine requires the battery to have a very strong charge. If your battery is more than 5 years old, that's very likely the issue. I'd start there. Also, be sure to check the battery terminals and ground for corrosion and clean if necessary. If replacing the battery doesn't solve the problem it could be the starter solenoid or a loose electrical connection somewhere.
Check power to the starter motor solenoid. If this is getting power when cranking, then the issue is with the starter motor solenoid or starter motor. Replace.
you could just have dead cell in the battery which isn't getting enough amps to the starter,, have the battery LOAD checked,, that will tell you if the battery is actually good, just because it registers 12 volts isn't necessarily an indication that the required amps are present.
it sounds like you have blown fuse to the Alternator.. I don't know what car you are talking about but they charging systems vary.. But if alternator isn't getting all the power it needs it won't charge. this should be checked.
