He turned up one night stone broke in Medellín [closed]

My father was a renegade priest. I don’t know if he was Colombian or came from some other country. But he was Latin American. He turned up one night stone broke in Medellín, preaching sermons in bars and whorehouses. Some people thought he was working for the secret police, but my mother kept him from getting killed and took him to her penthouse in the neighborhood. They lived together for four months, I’ve been told, and then my father vanished into the Gospels.

This is an excerpt from Roberto Bolaño's 'The Return', a short story, I just want to understand the meaning of the sentence in bold. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Solution 1:

The sentence means "One night, he arrived [turned up] in Medellin with no money at all [stone broke]."

lexico turn up
2 Put in an appearance; arrive.

Merriam-Webster stone broke
: without any money at all

The word broke means having no money. The word stone intensifies that.
