up to 6000 a man died and now it will not restart

problem and it tried to start but without bypassing
the starter it just click click click click my husband
said it almost sounds like something is stuck in the

sounds like your alternator failed and caused the car to drain the battery until the battery it, too, was dead. Replace the alternator and try jumping the battery. If it still will not start, replace the battery again.
