According to The Phrase Finder, the Miles Coverdale Bible (1535) has this account on someone "falling on his sword":
Then sayde Saul vnto his wapebearer: Drawe out thy swerde, and thrust it thorow me, that these vncircumcised come not and slaie me, and make a laughinge stocke of me. Neuertheles his wapenbearer wolde not, for he was sore afrayed. Then toke Saul ye swerde, and fell therin.
Now whan his wapenbearer sawe that Saul was deed, he fell also vpon his swerde, and dyed with him.
But, since the Mother's Day weekend is upon us, will anyone take notice that White House Military Office director Louis Caldera has fallen on his?
