2012 Hilux with snorkel stopped after getting stuck in water

Hi guys,

my sons 2012 Hilux (diesel) engine stopped when he got stuck in a deep mudhole last night. 

I had a quick look after driving for about 130km with a car trailer to get his car and it has been immersed in muddy water over the top of the battery.

The water level on the inside of the car apparently reached top of seat height before they managed to snatch it out of the water.

The car has a snorkel, however,  the engine stopped whilst the hilux was still immersed in the water up to its bonnet.

What would have caused the engine to stop? Typically what would one expect to need to clean out, replace etc in order to sort this?
