Answer
Sam,
When the engine overheated, it may have blown the head gasket.  When this happens, you loose compression and the engine will not run.  Your mechanic would need to do a compression check to see if the head gasket is actually blown.  If so, the gasket would need to be replaced in order for your car to start back up.
Good luck!
