Bad alternator does not explain any impact upon temp, because the water pump will continue to turn. A belt tensioner that lets go will cause all belt driven accessories to fail.
So my guess is you heard the spring in the belt tensioner go clunk when it met the grim reaper, then the belt was just riding instead of working.
Rule of thumb, when it is time for a belt, it is usually time for a tensioner.
