I meant to say 'He didn't do anything to deserve to die.

Is 'over or for' possible or incorrect?

It's not incorrect, but usually the idea of deserving something and the act with which it is associated are in the same time frame.

He doesn't deserve to be punished for that. (present)
He didn't deserve the sentence he was given. (past)
