Sadly, "BOOM" is almost always a broken rod, although on a 617 a broken cam can
sound similar.
If you are lucky and it's the cam that failed, you have a rebuildable engine.
If it tossed a rod, get another engine.

Broken crankshaft? Not usual with an OM617, but possible. especially
if someone changed the flywheel, etc.
Broken chain/camshaft/cam towers is possible. with that, you can
generally hear the chain hit the case, then the cam and bearings crunch,
then silence, as you coast to a stop.
Rod thro
Timing chain? Or maybe ate a prechamber? Sorry to hear :(
