There's not really a lot you can do, tbh
 
A large water change, to make sure the water is in tip top condition, and making sure nothing else can attack it is your best bet.

he is now facing the surface but otherwise nothing has changed

Its a long shot, but you can try putting the cory in a seperate tank with only a few inches of water and do twice or 3 times daily water changes. Or if you have a small enough filter to work at really low water levels you can try an antibacterial medication. Sometimes this works and the fish can pull through, sometimes it doesnt.

sadly he has passed.

No snail incident but I had the same problem but it was my guppy....
Wouldn't swim or eat.
Eventually passed...

Sorry for your loss, Sean

All I can say is, if the fish was so sick it could be attacked by a snail, there wasn't much you could do.
