A knife by her own hand is what kills Eurydice in "Antigone" by Sophcles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban Queen Eurydice hears the news of the successive suicides of Princess Antigone, her niece and intended daughter-in-law, and of Prince Haemon, her only surviving child. She finds intolerable the thought of spending any more time above ground with a husband whom she blames for the deaths of all of their children. She decides to go inside the royal palace and kill herself with a sharp knife before anyone can stop her.

How does the play Antigone end?

After Antigone has been killed, Haemon, Ismene and Queen Eurydice commit suicide. Creon at last repents seeing that he has caused all this by acting against the gods. [Actually, Antigone commits suicide, too. She hangs herself rather than slowly starve to death in the tomb in which Creon has had her sealed. Finding her dead is why Haemon kills himself. Finding that Haemon is dead is why Eurydice kills herself: cause and effect.]
