I can’t find any sources concerning who died first in Rome. Peter or Paul? I watch a movie where Paul died first then Peter.
 
According to the Prologue by St. Nicholas Velimirovic, it was St. Peter, then St. Paul.
 
They died on the same day. If I’m not mistaken, both the Romans and Byzantines (the latter since the sixth century) celebrate their feast on June 29. It was around 67 A.D.
 
from what I have heard, Peter, then Paul, about a year or so apart.
 
<<from what I have heard, Peter, then Paul, about a year or so apart.>>

That basically is what St. Nicholas wrote in the Prologue–both on 29 June, but separated by a year.
 
Not exactly ‘ex cathedra,’ but here’s the view of an extremely ancient writer:

“You have therefore by your urgent exhortation bound close together the sowing of Peter and Paul at Rome and Corinth. For both planted the seed of the Gospel also in Corinth, and together instructed us, just as they likewise taught in the same place in Italy and at the same time suffered martyrdom…”

Dionysius, bishop of Corinth, letter to the Roman Church in the time of Pope Soter (165-74), preserved in Eusebius, HE Book II, xxviii.

So they died around the same time. Finally an answer.
