Cordyline plants - are they dead?

I've got a couple of Cordyline plants. Due to not wrapping them up in the winter the heavy snow either snapped the leaves(?) or killed them (dried out).
I have cut all the leaves off to leave just the trunk of the plant. Will new leaves grow, or is the plant now dead?

Thanks

    I would check the stems - a couple of my smaller ones were mushy at the top & just the 'crown' came off - hopefully they will regrow.
    My big one was soggy right to the ground and you could smell it rotting, so I dug it out.
