Answer: He may not have been aware it was supposed to be wet. They probably hadn't told him all the details of what was going to happen. That, or in those terrifying final moments, knowing he was about to die, he simply forgot.
I can't remember exactly, but at this stage, wasn't his face uncovered? So, would have seen that the sponge should have been in water.
