Broken bellhouse

Ok. I'm drivin my car and all at once the engine boggs down as if it
going to stop, then it runs fine for about a quarter mile then boggs
down again and dies. As I'm pulling off the x-way, I push in the clutch
and it goes to the floor with no resistant at all. Car wont start. I
assume that the cluch isnt engaged and the transmission is in gear and
that the safety switch wont let it start. Tow the thing home and find
that the clutch master cylinder is compleatly out of fluid. Replace
fluid. Upon further inspection I find a crack that is completely around
the bellhouse. The starter is hanging on only with the wiring. On the
two bolts bracket on the starter, one of those are broken. When this
clutch went out all that happened was the car died and when I pushed in
the clutch in it went directly to the floor. No loud bang or grinding.
How could I have drove the car to where it broke down without a clutch?
I wasnt with the car when it was towed home. My question is, do you
think that the clutch may have broken the bellhousing? I feel that the
tow truck may have dropped the car some way to cause this kind of
breakage. This is a major crack in the b/h. ...Many thx ... Don
