Christmas palm lost it's head

I haven't lived long in Florida, so this might not even be a Christmas palm, but after the last tropical storm the top of one of my palm trees blew off. It had been struggling for a couple of weeks just before the storm. A lot of fronds were turning brown and shriveled. My question is, are the other two in this group doomed? Did I overwater? Did I not fertilize? There is one on the other side of the house that is more neglected (no food or water) but it is thriving. So, do I have to dig this up and start again? Or keep these two? Thanks!

You can cut the dead trunk, it will benefit the clump. Adonidias don't grow naturally in clumps. Some sellers purposely put Adonidias in clumps so they can make them more expensive.
