There are two scenarios can think of(i.e. found) that would cause a cockroach to die on its back:
(1) Roach dies while crawling on the wall. Just suppose the roach croaks somehow and tumbles earthward. The aerodynamics of the roach corpse (smooth on the back, or wing side; irregular on the front, or leg side) are such that the critter will tend to land on its back. Or so goes the theory. Admittedly the study of bug airfoil characteristics is not as advanced as it might be.
(3) Roach dies after ingesting potent neurotoxins, e.g., Diet Coke, or some traditional bug poison like pyrethrum. Neurotoxins cause the roach to twitch itself to death, in the course of which it will frequently kick over on its back, there to flail helplessly until the end comes.
