If the battery was in it for more then 3 min (sometimes even less) say bye bye phone...

I work in the cell phone industry and this is my experience for many many cases.
why is that?

Should've waited longer I guess.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Did you try charging it? Don't. Don't give up hope yet. My phone did the same leave it in rice for another couple days and don't touch it.
