Short or loose connection somewhere. Check at the starter, check the battery connections.

how long did he drive it before it died on him again? If it wasn't too long it could be the fusable link between the alternator and battery is blown and therefore the alternator isn't actually charging the battery. The car would only run until the battery ran down.
