I think so.
If it was insect damage for example, are his buddies to the immediate right and left effected? In 3-4 months time, those would have to be amazing insects because they killed something incredibly quickly as in Warp Speed quickly. Insects normally kill over a year or two in terms of you noticing that there is a problem first.
Not sunlight, because the others are fine.
Not a nutrient deficiency because again, this happened much to quickly for that.
For my $$$, it is likely to be water. I arrive at that kind of by process of elimination. Assuming of course you bought a plant with a decent root system to start with?
Did it come with any type of a guarantee? Maybe you could replace it through that guarantee??
Good Luck!
