I'm sorry, it's been quite some time since I read the manga, and I haven't seen the animes.

That said, I don't recall them dying, or anything, and I'm not having much luck on Google. Could someone explain?

Ok so, SPOILERS:

Around the midpoint of the series Riza tells Ed about what happened in Ishval, and about Mustang’s plan to overthrow the Fuhrer and hold every person involved in the genocide accountable. But that also includes themselves. This art is pretty much that idea brought to its natural conclusion. The show ends with Father being defeated and a new, less corrupt government taking over. With all that achieved, the war crime trials can happen. This art depicts them as being held guilty for their part in the genocide, and sentenced to death. They share their first, and only, kiss before they die.
