Mexican pachira Fortune Tree - Dead or Alive?

I have a Fortune tree which was doing fabulously until I went away for a month. The plant was kept inside with minimal heating and temperatures below freezing on some days. When I got back all the leaves on top had died but there were new, green leaves at the base of the tree. I have given it fresh soil and some earthworms but nothing has grown on top? The branches seem quite dry and almost hollow. Should I prune them? Is my beautiful tree lost forever?

Pruning the dead ends would be best.
