When I had my Lily plant I left her in front of my window for about 5 days, when I came back she was burnt to a crisp.  
Because you said the plant is crunchy I think you need to reevaluate the spot you have it in

-put in a spot that gets light but not intense. make sure it’s not directly infront of the window but a little to the side  
\- Also figure out if you’re watering it enough. My Lily plant was so dramatic when she needed water , so I think the lily plants need consistent water. Make sure the soil is slightly moist most days, just not soaking wet. Water it right before it starts to get dry again

-Also cut off any close to dead leaf that way your plant can focus its energy only into the leafs and stems that need it

-Spray with a tiny bit of dish washing liquid soapy water to try and deter any pests

Hopefully these help!
