I would check the roots for root rot.

1st cut off the black leaves at the very bottom of the plant. It could be an overwatering problem or not enought light. Did you fertilize it? If so it could be that. Is it in a cold area? That could be it. But check the roots like the other person said. And look really close under the leaces, in-between the leaves down in the crevices and on top if leaves in case its a pest.
