If the soil can dry out in the area, then it is possible. Otherwise, the area will be a death sentence. Like I mentioned, though, If you can provide the conditions necessary then they may be saved.

Wet soil is likely the cause. This will suffocate roots, and they will not be able to absorb nutrients. This will cause wilt. Another possibility is that something has damaged the roots, but if the soil is too wet then I suspect the former.
