The Bible is silent on the subject of the twelve Apostles' deaths... who in the biblical account disappear from historical view. But the general consensus is that Peter was martyred in the manner suggested in the question.
The popular consensus regarding Paul's death, however, is that he was beheaded; with different accounts citing different locations in or around Rome or at the very least... somewhere in Italy. Different accounts also credit his death at the hands of different people, some including by Emperor Nero himself.
There is even one account floating around that has Paul being mauled to death by lions in the Roman Coliseum, reputedly for the amusement of Nero and the citizens of the fading empire.
