2015 c250 TOTALLY DEAD

I turned off my car and tried to lock it......nothing happened. Shrugged it off, thinking the fob had died. Went back to start it a few hours later....nothing, no lights, not clicking, not a single thing. I don't think it is the battery cause I just started a few hours ago, and there have been no signs of a weak batt. What else could it be? Ignition switch? Would that keep even interior lights from working? Fuse?

Please help....my life is falling apart, and this is the last straw.

Thanks for the reply, would the EIS cause everything to not work? Lights, locks, trunk?
