Possibility. However if you killed yourself. The server should say "So and so died." Anytime you die and the server doesn't speak, then that means there killer was not a valid object.

perhaps the server thinks it killed me. how does the arti sacrificer not give pts? does it still say you died? and didnt you say the dead and yourself cant be the killer. perhaps sence its both it just makes it non valid.

the sacrificer is meant to work that way because your not killing them, your sacrificing them to L'aurte....i mean Ares...

The server actually kills them, so the message is "Daniel has died!" Server being a real object. Most damages not done by a players actions (melee/spell) is the server damaging them.

The script is fairly easy and basic. But if they die and no message then it just means the killer registered as "OBJECT_INVALID".

well list some objects that are not valid and check if its related to those

Maybe it's tagging the killer as something worn? Are items valid killers?

Items are valid objects, yes. Technically they can kill you.

Server
NPC
Player
Items
Area (Arena)

All valid objects. All can kill you and a message will appear. I don't know what causes an invalid object except......

I hit you and you now have 5 hp's left. I log off. Your rage wears off, the killer (me) who know longer exists on the server now is an invalid object. Only way I know of that does that.

Script is basic as in...

If(oKiller == OBJECT_INVALID)
then return

Without that then invalid object's would crash the script and maybe server.

you cant change the invalid object to give pts to? like letting the the invalid object kill them and have a check that tells what dmged them befor the invalid object killed them. (When you die of rage its not the con that killed them but the person that dmged them befor). So if the invalid object killed them the scripted would activate and give pts for the last person dmging them?

Points are awarded depending on level of killer. If he's invalid, the server has no clue who, what, where and what level they are.

Script does check for last damaged them.

This isn't a very often occuring thing, honestly. Any chance when a killer is returned invalid that you could give exp to all of the other team as if a similarly levelled character had killed them? That might not be the greatest solution in case someone has just killed you for 9 points, but 25+ exps is better than nothing.
