I have a degree in mortuary science, I can make it look like natural causes.
OK, that pretty much determines without a doubt, the starter is bad. You're 100% certain the battery is good, you're 100% certain the engine isn't seized and turns freely, so by jumping the solenoid, you've bypassed the ignition switch and all wiring to the starter so if it was something between ignition switch and solenoid wiring, then it would have cranked and cranked with a jumper on the solenoid bypassing anything else that could have been the problem. By process of eliminating everything else, the starter is BAD !!!
