I did not know that.

The TU series is an interference engine

Correct, valves will be bent.
Compression test is called for first but it's 99.9% certain it's gonna be off with its head
Frozen water pump I'm guessing due to lack of antifreeze.

iv done quite a few tu jobs at work where the belts have snapped and they have all had bent valves
on the positive side it is a really easy engine to take the head off so shouldnt be mega expensive and if you do it yourself its not overly difficult

Not yet it hasn't; the valves will still be bent! (joke)

You'll still have to take the head off to make sure though unless you can find a garage with an endoscope.

I bet he was still cranking it while it snapped so id say he sent the pistons into a couple of valves

Its extremely rare a TU gets away without any damage when the timing belt fails.
