It died on him when the engine and fuel were both cold as a stone after the car had been sitting for days. That would seemingly rule out vapor lock in my view, which is something I have dealt with in the past.

But regardless, confirming fuel delivery is easy enough to do and should be the first thing to check. Checking the coil for spark would be next on my list.
