It's not going to try to turn itself back on if it comes alive again, right? If it was off, it's staying off until I try to turn it back on? It was on in my pocket.

Oh, it's doesn't have a removeable battery, does it?
Well, there's nothing more you can do.
No, it shouldn't turn itself on.

Don't try turning it on for a few days.

This. Always have a proper descant.
No removable battery with the S6 Edge.
It would suck if it dried out fine, but the screen cracked due to the magic of kitty litter.

I question a person that has cat litter on hand but not rice.

Galaxy phones are waterproof, it's one of their defining features. See how they're drenching the phones in water? It'll be fine.
The S5 is the only waterproof Galaxy phone.

I dropped my S3 in the bath. Total immersion for a while. Phone was of off and I took out the cover, battery and sim. After 24 hours covered in white rice it came back to me.
I still have it. Now I use a Z3. Waterproof but fragile as funk.

I might have already tried to turn it on after I took it out of the water. I knew I shouldn't do it but I had to try.

Did you checked if it's cat litter proof ?
But really couldn't some litter particles spread through some of the phone orifices?

Silica gel is the only thing that will work without potentially causing issues from left over residue/deposits.
Good luck and in reality the best bet if it still doesn't work would be pulling it apart and putting it in a ultrasonic cleaner. LCD/digi might still be fucked but it's a much cheaper repair than if you had to replace the phone outright.

Shoulda bought a sub-$200 Android phone and not care if it gets broken, just buy a new one.

Since you don't have a Schrodingers box handy, we can't know if that fried it.
But never do that again. Always wait until it's been given ample time to dry.

How long is ample time? 20 minutes?
now it's more dead than dead

Man, it's time like these that i appreciate my Xperia Z1 phone !
I went to Croatia last summer swimming with the phone and just didn't care, took pictures underwater, still working perfectly well. Love the waterproof feature, it should be a standard in today's phones.
The weird thing is Samsung had the feature for their previous model S5 but not S6 ? lol

realistically?
i don;t know how well cat litter can actually dry anything, but we used to leave customer phones in silica over night. Now we just open, clean and put the board into an ultrasonic cleaner. Much faster turn around time and better results.
