Well this is my best guess as to what happened.
It obviously got water in the intake, there is no indication of a bad head gasket, and the water had no green tint, it was clear. So I am guessing he hydrolocked, drove through a lake or something. Water got into the intake manifold, into the cylinders, and somehow it ran for a few seconds before stopping, allowing water to get out the motor. Then finally the motor couldn't compress the water any more, and blew out a head gasket while destroying at least one rod, as it bent as the motor stalled out, leaking water into the oil, and leaving gnerous amounts of water in the intake/exhaust manifolds, in the cylinders, and everywhere else. My only wtf is that the interior, from the looks of it, never got wet. And that I got the car roughly about 2 weeks after everything happened, the title got salvaged, he collected insurance, it went up for aution, some yard guy bought it, and I bought it from him and tore it apart, just to find it soaking wet.
