I haven't heard that.
There was just one other possibility that I came across.
'To go south' is, among the Sioux, the favorite euphemism for death."
(The Sioux being a Native American tribe and 'euphemism' being a more gentle way of saying something - but looking at your standard of English, you probably know that already)

Going South:: if a situation, organization, or set of standards goes south, it becomes very bad although it was once very good
• After four years, their relationship began to go south.
• I should have walked away from the casino when my luck went south, but I stayed and ended up losing everything.
('South' being usually seen as 'down' on a map)

It means they took a turn for the worse which means things got bad. For example,
-It was supposed to be a simple op, but enemy troops were expecting us and things went south.
(For something to go south means that things got bad/the situation got dicey)
