I'll have a video up by tomorrow, hopefully. I have a hypothesis of what happened but maybe others have more experience with this.

Your com was worn down a lot, and since the water removed the dust from the brushes while turning, it literally grinded them to nothing.
Running the motor on anything over 3V was not a good idea from the start...
