Water doesn't damage your phone, it's the battery that does..
Remember at school when we were told that water + electricity causes corrosion? That's what your fizz sound was, putting the battery in is what will have killed it, if you had left it out for a few days & put the phone somewhere warm to dry out it would most likely be fine.
