This looks dead. It’s normal to have some browning on the edges over winter but this isn’t what that looks like. Could be a drainage issue, could be some sort of infection, hard to say without knowing more. When you bend the branches do the bend or crumble and snap?
You can also give it a little scratch. If it's green, it's alive.. If it's brown, it's dead.
Scratched the trunk and it is green!
For now, at least. Keep an eye on it to make sure it has everything it needs and it might survive.
Branches are flexible and relatively soft, another user suggested I scratch the trunk to see if it's green inside and it is so I think it is still alive fortunately!
