This tree is relatively free of disease and pests, though Scale pests have been known to attack.
Your yard seems quite shady and this tree thrives best in full sun but will tolerate partial shade, 4-6 hours of sunlight.

Sudden death of a tree sometimes can’t be explained. It’s doubtful the small green still growing from the truck would sustain this size tree.
I would look for a replacement.
