Hi Emma, I doubt you killed your starter (since yeast dies at 140F), but I would be careful to try to keep your starter in the 70-80F range rather than allowing it to get quite so warm. The more liquidy consistency probably just means that your starter fermented a bit more than it usually does because of the warmer temperature, and isn't a sign that your starter has been permanently harmed.
