iPhone X siren sound and black screen.

My husband’s iPhone XS, after being wiped over against coronavirus, started making a siren sound and went to black screen. Can’t get anything out of it except siren sound. Tried reset of Vol up, Vol down & then hold power button in. No sign of Apple logo. Any suggestions?
