if youre sure the plant is dead, dig around the roots and if you find black-stringy roots, it died from root-rot (overwatering or poor drainage). If the roots are white the plant will likely re-sprout.

WAter when the soil is dry 1 - 1 1/2 inches below the surface. Poke a finger in, in time you'll get a good enough sense of the soil that you won't need to check as often.
