Nobody can tell you that until you find out what actually happened to it. Did it overheat, run out of oil?

Well, the new belt didn't cause it to smoke so you need to find out what may have happened to the car. You don't have enough info to determine anything at this point. You need to have it looked at by a competent tech.
