Dad's hedge has come to the end of it's natural life. Dig out, replace the soil and plant a new one

Drought? Seems more likely than the frost possibility if it has started to develop recently. ... Rescue with hose.

Fungus damage always appears after a dry spell, remember when the ground is frozen plants etc. cannot get moisture. You will have to cut the hedge down because it will die back anyhow. Dig around the roots for tell tale signs of Mycelium white threads.

Could be frost, this last winter was the coldest for 18 years! Just prune the dead leaves/branches off and it should recover.
