Incredibly sad. Will this come back to life?  
I pulled all of the brown dead leaves out.

Does it have drainage?

Yes!!

if it was overwatered, the best thing to do would be to repot and check the roots. remove any black, mushy, dead ones, and give it a chunky, well draining succulant soil. water when its fully dry - i believe it falls into the succulant family, so its drought resistant and doesnt need water very often. you can check the moisture level with a wooden chopstick or skewer, although those might be way too small for this plant, lol. pot size should be 1-2 inches bigger than the root ball.  
hope this helps, and good luck!!

Ty so much for advice! Will try to repot with new soil.

I wish you well. I killed one from overwatering

Ugh

We all kill at least one plant from overwatering in the beginning. It’s a rite of passage - onwards and upwards, but I hope she makes it through!
