Samsung S3 i9300 Dead after trying to install a custom ROM (noob here)



So here is what happened.

I have a Samsung S3 i9300 with android jellybean (4.3). I wanted to play Pokemon GO real bad (damn me ! :( ) so I tried rooting my phone and upgrading it to 4.4.

I used the kingoroot from PC and successfully rooted my phone. Then i downloaded the TWRP manager app in my phone and went to install recovery (i have no idea what that is but i went as per instructions given on TWRP website), chose my device, the latest image available and then selected "install". It ran and then gave me a pop up that it is not successful because either the image is not for my device or my phone's "something" is locked (i don't exactly remember what it was.. but i searched and found out that Samsung galaxy S3 i9300 has "that" feature always unlocked). Then it gave me an option to "Reboot Now" and i chose that, which hanged my phone. I pressed the home button and it went to the home page and the phone was working OK besides the TWRP manager app which was stuck. So what I did was that I restart my phone using the power button. My phone restarted and then I got a black screen and the LED which indicates the charging status was blue (with changing shades), It got me worried so I took out the battery. When i put it again it was DEAD :(

I tried the soft reset, hard reset but no luck.

When i connect it to my PC it does give that connected sound but nothing else.
