[Q] Stuck on bootloader (Bricked?) topic

I had given my sister this phone in June. It's unlocked, S-OFF, and was running CM11 with some custom recovery installed (was twrp, afair)
She had complained a few times about the phone directly booting to the bootloader/fastboot screen. A reboot from there usually worked after a couple of attempts.
Last week she dropped the phone and cracked the screen at the bottom. The display still works and the glass is still intact with some crack lines.
Yesterday, her battery drained completely and when she booted the phone after connecting the charger, it showed the bootloader/fastboot screen and wouldn't go beyond it.

fastboot devices detects the device.

flashing twrp 2.8.3 through fastboot fails with the following

Reading through many threads on various forums suggests the eMMC might be dead. Is there any way to recover this phone?
