Overheating often warps the head. If the heat was high enough then the engine block could be ruined as well. Check the compression to see if it is still in the right range, this will help determine the amount of damage.
A failed ECM can certainly keep an engine from starting, but it probably won't be responsible for overheating.

My 94 Lumina APV (3.8L) would not start (when warm) - cranked but acted as if no spark or fuel. Mechanic replaced computer @ $350 (said too many error codes to diagnose problem) - did not resolve problem. Then he replaced the camshaft position sensor (CMP) @ $125 - that solved the problem. PB
