Not dead. If there is still an intact root system, it has a chance of coming back.
Check for a death plug, as it looks like root rot.
Your soil mix looks dense af and you might want to change it by adding a lot of perlite.
Calathea are flowering plants. Don’t cut their leaves off. Let them die back on their own, and they will easily pull off when the plants take the energy back from the leaves.

cut all the leaves off down to the soil, then take out as much of the soil as you can without disturbing the root system, then add perlite to the soil and put it back and don’t water until soil is almost completely dry. When do water, water at least once a month with fertilizer. Greatest of luck.
