My son took his iPhone in the pool thinking that the lifeproof case would protect it. It is completely dead and will not start. Can someone access personal info from this phone?

You'll soon find out how essential that data is.
Not sure why your offspring would take the iPhone into the pool with him, but there is a little ray of hope.
Perhaps he can recover the personal data from the backups of his phone that he performed regularly.
OK, I did say it was just a "little ray"
