It's possible that the engine actually died just before the Check Engine and oil pressure lights came on. If that's the case, the problem could be little more than the engine needing a tune-up or its idle speed raised.

Why are cars designed to leave lights on when ignition off?
Let's say you park your car outside at night and not in a
garage. The AUTOMATIC lights will stay on long enough to light the
area up and give you time to get inside. They will then go off.
Lights in a car without auto lights are designed to be turned on
without the ignition being on for safety reasons. If you are
driving along at night and your ignition fails you lights will
still be on. Also lights draw too...

Why do the engine warning lights come on when the car is off?
By "OFF," I have to assume that your question means that the
ignition switch is "ON", but the engine is not running.
IF that is what your question means, then the reason the
engine warning lights turning on is that the manufacturer designed
the system that way to show you that those warning circuits and
lights are working, and ready to warn you after you start the
engine, should there be a failure in one of the systems they
represent.
