I don't think the bush is dead. It still has lots of green on the trunk and stem. IMO what you have are soft scale insects or possibly aphids and the black stuff is honeydew. If you could send a close up picture of the white stuff on the trunk and leaves I could be sure.

There are many different types of scale, both hard and soft. If you will google "soft white scale insect images" I am sure you will find the culprit. I hope you didn't dig up your bush because it is far from dead. If you just cut the bush off at soil level I am pretty sure the plant will come back. To kill these insects spray with Neem every 5-7 days for 3 weeks.

Scale and aphids. Not savable. Fodder for the fire pit. Looks like an Euonymus which a magnet for scale.
