Did I just kill my yogurt?

Hi all,
I hope this is the right forum for this. I successfully made my own yogurt several times. Since I don't have a yogurt maker, I use a pan inside another pan with a water bath.
To keep the right temperature I have a food thermometer and switch on the hob to mark 1 for a couple of minutes, switch it off and leave it for another 30 to 60 minutes.
Now i missed the right moment to switch it off and the temperature went up to ~75C for quite a while.
Is my yogurt dead now or will the bacteria "go back to work" once it is cooled down? If it's dead, then I guess I will just eat it and use another starter the next time. I don't see why I should throw away the dead yogurt...
What is the answer from the experts here ;-)

I am far from expert...but what I've just read online suggests that you have indeed just killed your yogurt. Sorry!0
