I've seen it where the last bit of sludge in the tank gets sucked into
the system. It may have totally clogged up your fuel filter (and
possibly the injectors), so it may be a good idea to replace the fuel
filter now. Add some more gas and some good injection system cleaner.
Fuel pumps get their cooling by being immersed in fuel. It could be
that your pump overheated and seized a bearing because it didn't have
proper cooling.
It could be that your main relay is going bad and this happens to
coincide with your empty tank -- since your car died with an empty
tank, that is probably far less likely.

After you replace your fuel filter, try spraying some starting fluid in
the air intake to see if it helps the starting process.
If that doesn't help at all, I'd make sure fuel is reaching your
injectors by pulling the fuel line off where it enters your engine
compartment (catch it in a container and obviously be careful around
sparks). If you are not getting fuel, check the power to the fuel pump.
If the power is indeed present, I'd check the main relay
(www.tegger.com has helpful hints on how to do that).

Hope that helps.
