Greetings,

Does it sound like the engine is turning over much easier than normal? It could be that the timing chain/belt has broken. It is more likely a starter issue though, especially with the battery draining dead like you have stated. A faulty starter can easily drain a battery dead. I would suggest removing the starter and having it tested at a local shop.
