Need urgent help recovering data from water damaged and dead phone

Friends, my 3yr old Samsung S8, which is supposed to be water proof, died yday after it got submerged in water at imagica water park. I hv dipped the phone many times in water but it was resisted water and worked all fine, so not sure what happened now. Now how do I backup the data from this dead phone to laptop so I can transfer to new phone as soon as I buy? I do have WhatsApp back up on Google drive enabled so guessing WhatsApp chat should be taken care of. But how to backup all the pictures and docs from phone?
And if someone is aware of how to revive this water damaged phone then pls guide me, I will forever be grateful. So far I have tried keeping phone in rice for 8-9hrs and then in sunlight for couple of hrs but after this also phone didn't turn on.
TiA for all ur help.

Yes.. I took it with me in the wave pool at water park as the phone is supposed to be water proof and I have taken in water in the past.. I took a few pics and videos as well initially in water, but then after a bit phone just switched off and didn't start again

Already put in rice last night when we returned from water park..kept there for 8-9hrs then kept in sun light for 2hrs then tried to start but it didn't.. I then connected to charger to see if battery is drained but again no luck at all so removed from charger immediately and again put the phone back in rice bowl.
I just removed the SIM tray to take SIM out so that I can put in my spare phone and the SIM card wall all wet..so water seems to be still in there inside the phone

Don't do anything or try to charge or connect it to pc multiple times as it can increase the risk of more damage.
Take it to a good repair shop and tell him that you only care about the data and ask him to get the data out of the phone. They will be able to tell you if it is even possible.

Recovery of data is not possible unless your phone get revived even if you take out the internal storage from motherboard & try to read memory from easyjtag plus box or UFI. User data partition is encrypted only the same CPU can decrypt data. So if the CPU gets faulty due to water damaged therew is no way to extract data from the phone. Security is very high level in android after marshmallow.
Most likely power IC might have died due to water damaged. You may ping me for data or reviving of your phone.
