Unhappy Siezed 7.3 :(

Hi, i recently bought an 7.3l powerstroke out of a truck, the engine is siezed, there was coolant in the oil, i removed the valve covers, to fing one cylinder had the rocker arm popped off and the valve spring was popped off as well, broken and bent rocker arm bolts and the injector tip broke off in the engine, all in the same cylinder.. i tried rotating the engine by hand, moves about an in and dead stop. i think there is a broken connecting rod wedged in there? what happened? Thanks!!

Would seem like it dropped a valve.
