Default 2000 Vette completely dead.. complete electrical failure. HELP

I went out to head to work yesterday morning. Got in the vcar and turned to the "on position" (did not try to crank, just to where lights, radio, etc come one). I slammed the door shut and wham... the entire electrical system shut off. Surned the key to the off position, then back on.. NOTHING. It's like someone just pulled the battery. THe power windows don;t work, the interior lights don't work. nothing that had any electrical component work. It's like someone just fried every circuit in the car. Please help me diagnose the problem.

Many Thanks,
CDK

My AC Delco died unexpectedly and completely.

If its the OEM battery a new Optima should fix the problem
