Mother Die is a confusing name as this is a common name for Wild Carrot, Cow Parsley and Henbane amongst others.
I don't think this is the cause of the problem.
Has the Council been spraying weedkiller along the footpaths in the last few weeks?
Has there been drought conditions (little or no rain)?
Are there any critters on the leaves?
None of these? Then that leaves disease!
It may be fungal or some other infection.
I hope this helps, if not, it gave you something to read.
