Page "Agrippina the Younger" Paragraph 53
from
Wikipedia
The tale of Cassius Dio is also somewhat different.
It starts again with Poppaea as the motive behind the murder.
Nero designed a ship that would open at the bottom while at sea.
Agrippina was put aboard and after the bottom of the ship opened up, she fell into the water.
Agrippina swam to shore so Nero sent an assassin to kill her.
Nero then claimed Agrippina plotted to kill him and committed suicide.
Her reputed last words, uttered as the assassin was about to strike, were " Smite my womb ", the implication here being she wished to be destroyed first in that part of her body that had given birth to so " abominable a son.
