If I reading this right, The starter engages, and makes noise, but it doesn't sound right? i.e. no thump, thump, thump, like normal cranking?

If that describes it, first thing to check would be pull the plug and see if you have some compression. i.e. look inside and make sure piston is moving. For a quick and dirty compressin test, stick thumb over plug hole and hit the starter. The compression should blow you thumb off the hole...

Were there any horrible noises when it died, or just silence?

Unless I'm barking up the wrong tree...
