If there is no other damage anywhere in cyl #3, then I believe that it WAS hydrolock that caused the rod to bend.
Fuel OR water could do that.
However if it had been water, there would likely have been some evidence.
If the cylinder filled up completely with fuel, then there would be evidence of fuel in the oil because it would leak past the rings into the case.

You could have the oil analyzed, but it is probably long gone now.

Could the engine have run for a long time with the rod bent like that???
Maybe
