Completely dead, meaning no lights on, no buzzers, nothing? Be more specific and maybe we can narrow it down. I assumed you checked all your fuses and links?

check cables. there may be a bad ground for the battery. cable may be cut or curroded.

checked for voltage at the starter solenoid terminals.

does it click at all? make any kind of noise? did this just suddenly happen?

When you try to start it, does the motor turn over at all? As in, does the starter engage the flywheel/flexplate and pyshically rotate the internal assembly? Or does it just not turn at all? The answer to this will lead us down two entirely different paths of diagnosis.
