No, they didn't die for lack of upkeep.  (1) I would have gotten a 
message for that.  (2) No other units died from lack of upkeep the 
entire game; waht are the odds that these two were the first?  (3) Under 
Monarchy few units die from lack of upkeep.

Killed while attacking the cannon is very unlikely, but possible.  Of 
course this still leaves the question of why there was no message.
