Why won't Kyocera DuraForce Pro turn on?

Was reading an article online.  Had not received any low battery indication, think it was around 30%.  Glanced up to check surroundings, and when I looked back at the phone it was off.  Pressed power button thinking perhaps the screen had gone to sleep.  Nothing.  Pressed and held the power button.  Nothing.  Pressed and held power button for 45 seconds and cursed.  Nothing.  

Put the phone on charge for 45 minutes to an hour.  Red light on top left of phone would blink about once per second.  After it had charged, I pressed power on and volume buttons in various intriguing combinations for varying lengths of time.  Still nothing.  

Unplugged phone and tried button pushing.  Nothing.  Removed SIM card, pushing buttons while out and again once reinstalled.  Still no response.  The only change that has occurred is that now the red light no longer flashes, regardless whether the phone is plugged in or not.
