If you take the pieces to a metallurgist, they can tell you the reason for the failure by looking at the fractures. There was probably an impurity in the spring wire which caused a stress riser and a failure.

I agree with others here that all springs be replaced. Hopefully your valves and piston are ok. Good luck.
