I've heard that theory, but I don't think there's hard enough evidence to support it. Nowhere does it state that any attempt to cross the barrier could or will result in death. Just that the barrier cannot be crossed conventionally. And if he did die this way, then Sans still wouldn't be able to contact him because he is still in close proximity to the barrier. Also, it is heavily implied by Sans' call that a long time has passed since he crossed the barrier (or failed to), so if he died and the phone was abandoned, it could have also died in that amount of time, especially in an area without signal. I think Sans just caught Frisk at a time he wasn't available.
