Blown head gasket will cause the engine to overheat as well. Check the radiator for oil which would look milky

Good point.
Also note that a blown head gasket doesn't always let water get into the oil. Depends if it blows at an oil journal. Sometimes it will blow and only let water get into the cylinder and blow it out the exhaust. The water journals are very close to the cylinder wall.
this is a very common cause..mixing glycol bases and permanent anti freeze best to flush and set until dry then go with the orange stuff..but the coolant switch is the first to go then the water pump..coolant temp switch is what brings the fan on...take a temp gun and go to the outlet top hose and let idol and watch as the temp rises pay attention to the fans the temp that the fan turns on is around 200/210/212 any higher the switch isn't working...turn the a/c on to see if secondary fan kicks in..if yes..switch..have the fan tested too!
sometimes...but boiling back to reservoir tank is an indication as well....steam in res tank is a good sign you need a gasket swap
still at the dealership, no word from my friend as to what caused it
damn, im curious
