HELP! PLEASE!

Iโ€™ve had King George for a few years and he has thrived in an original pot, cheapest soil, and in frequent water and light.

His pot broke recently when I dropped it moving him off the table to clean, and I took the chance to repot him.

I think I overwatered, and he started to get light green and soft and dark in some spots. I was moving him towards more sunlight to hopefully help dry out the water and he fell and broke in 1/2.

Is there any saving him??? Iโ€™ll do whatever propagation necessary!!! Just unsure.

Pictures of current state, when I noticed he started to turn, and what he looked like before the repot.

It's root rot. U can try cutting top off where rot hasn't reached and let it grow roots again but also get another opinion I had to do it eith one of mine before it took the rest of it. So I had to cut top of mine off and place it in dry soil for a few days
Are u using cacust soil
I am not sure about saving King George but I highly highly highly recommend changing your soil to something with more perlite/pumice. I'd do a mix of 66% perlite/pumice and 33% organic.
