Either the foul happened before the buzzer, thus leaving SOME time on the clock... or it didn't, thus there was no foul.
1) The ball can be live even after time has expired.

2) The timer's reaction to the whistle will be after the foul, so time can expire. If there's replay, then you can put the time back (NCAA). Without it, you can't.
