Turkish Pine unexpectedly dying

I have been looking after this Turkish Pine (Pinus brutia), as a starter material, since late last year and in the past couple of weeks its needles have browned and it has started dying. It was difficult for me to care for it as I could only see it intermittently but I am unsure if there is more to it’s condition. If you want any differnt angles do not be afraid to ask. Any and all help is greatly appreciated as I really don’t want this tree to die!

I apologise as this is my first time posting and I am rather new to bonsai.

It's already dead. Too much or not enough water.

Agree, once it’s this far gone it’s not coming back.

I'm sorry it's gone. It is very difficult to have trees thrive when you aren't there to look after them.

Canberra Bonsai Society has Beginner Basics courses, and lots of helpful people - you might find it useful.

Don't be discouraged - this happens to all of us...
