Help with loropetalum. Is it dying?

Here is a link that shows just what you plant has and how to treat it:

If you live in a climate where it gets very hot, plant your Loropetalum on the east side of your home where it will receive just a few hours of direct morning sun. Keep it shaded during the hottest parts of the afternoon, and it should recover from heat stress and color up again. Overgrown loropetalums may be cut back after blooming to reduce size. While plants tolerate heavy pruning, it is best to remove only one-quarter to one-third of the plant at a time. Use thinning cuts to maintain a strong form. Loropetalums regrow quickly. Fertilize your shrub two or three times each year with a slow-release, balanced 10-10-10 granular fertilizer to help keep the shrub growing and flowering well. Mix about 1/4 cup of fertilizer into the soil at the plant's root zone, taking care not to disturb the plant's roots.

Yellow leaves most often mean they're getting too much water, and the roots are compromised and cannot absorb nutrients from the soil. The best way to try and fix this is by digging the plant up, adding some dry soil to the wet spot, and replanting the Loropetalum, or moving it all together, to a drier spot. Browning leaves are usually a sign of not enough water or that the roots have been somehow damaged or over-fertilizing.

It looks like it's too wet. Root rot will kill it, so transplant it where the soil has good drainage.

It seems that this is because of too much heat. And with this it is important to bear in mind that If you live in a climate where it gets very hot, it is best to plant your Loropetalum on the east side of your home the it it will just receive few hours of direct morning sun. Always keep it shaded during the hottest parts of the afternoon, and it should recover from heat stress and color up again.

My best guess is too much water. Take a look at drainage to make sure water isn't pooling in the area.

Make up a bug and fungus spray water ,25 drops of peppermint oil ,eucalyptus oil 25 drops and 25 drops mint oil 3 squirts of dish soap.

Fungus is the most likely culprit. Try adding mulch or straw for drainage to keep away excess water.
