A young Sarracenia flava in Tampa died back after three weeks. The dark, barky soil in the photo indicated standard potting soil—fatal to carnivorous plants due to fertilizer and minerals. Sarracenia decline slowly in such media.
Fix: Repot immediately into 1:1 peat moss:perlite or clean sand. Remove dead tissue. Use pre-mixed carnivorous plant soil if unsure. Recovery may take a season.
