That (remote) scenario wouldn't make sense. Apart from anything else, if they knew they were low on fuel they would surely have gone for best glide range speed (? 80kts ish) on the approach, not got behind the drag curve. And if they didn't know, the approach would have been with normal speed and profile until a sudden departure from both as it ran out.
