Well as far as dying from the inside out. That is kind of how Junipers and alot of trees grow. For a normal healthy juniper, the interior becomes old and less green, even brown and the new growth is on the tips. Usually light green and very lush. However, if just a branch is dying, most of the foliage on that branch will all turn pale. Also, keep in mind that evergreens die very slowly. Sometimes a tree will look good for 3-4 months and it is already on its way to death. So if it looks bad now, chances are it died at least 2-3 months ago. Keep us updated.
