The answer may be that you gave the plant too much water!

Excess or overwatering (or even waterlogged soil), will result in root damage of the plant; this in turn causes the plant to wilt even further as the damaged root system cannot take up water.

Can you bring a dead shrub back to life?

Once a plant, or any living being is dead, it is dead and can't be brought back to life. However, if they are nearly dead but still alive, they can recover. Plants have a survival mechanism where it will allow the visible parts die and store as much as they can in their root system. This allows the plant to revive when condition are better, such as when water is available. But this has a limited time frame and too long a drought will still result in the plant dying.


What would you expect would happen to a plant if you watered it with very salty water?

Water potential of the water inside the cells is higher that the water potential of the water outside the cells. (That would means the concentration of "pure" water inside the cells are higher than that outside the cells) Water moves from an higher water potential to an lower water potential. Thus Plasmolysis of the cells will take place. Which means the Nucleus,Vacuole and all the other cellular material will move from the inside of the cell to the outside.
