No this is not normal and can be a number of things such as  
\- overwatering ( soft mushy or yellow stem with dark brown spots)  
-under watering (crispy or brown edges on leaf and if the plant is very droopy)  
-irreversible damage (need to gentle cut away dead or brown parts without damaging the good green parts)

Or may be a fungal issue likely rust fungus  
Some ways to fix this are  
-treat with fungicide  
-remove from other plants in the area  
-make sure dead plant parts are thrown away and regularly inspect your plant
