When I first saw this tree I just stopped and stared. This is the most messy, ugly tree I have ever seen still standing!
Again, I don't know what killed this tree, but I can clearly see widespread decay in the trunk. The top is gone and the upper trunk is shattered. All the branches have been removed- or fallen off, who knows? And all that remains is a huge (and likely unsafe and diseased) mess full of epicormic shoot growth.
This tree is another obvious candidate for removal. It has clearly severely declined and is not going to come back. The epicormic shooting is weak growth, and there are no real branches left. It's an eyesore and really should just be taken down and replanted.
In fact, it appears that an attempt at removal was made! Here is what I assume to be a chainsaw cut at the base.
