If you look at the artist cutaway depiction, everything forward of smaller (blue) LPT shaft is gone except for a fragment of the larger diameter short fan shaft (also blue) that remained.

Think you nailed where it broke. Looks like the short fan shaft sheared where it tapers near the front of the LPC.
