she died by her hands vs she died on her hands

Both phrases are incorrect. The preposition 'by' is not used to indicate the cause of death in this context, and 'on her hands' does not make sense in relation to someone dying. A more appropriate preposition to use would be 'at' or 'in' to describe the location of the death.
