Bethesada set out to create a villian, but instead created an anti-hero. Voryn Dagoth fought side-by-side  with Indoril Nerevar in the Battle of the Red Mountain. After the defeat of Dwemer, Nerevar entrusted him the Profane Tools. In his absence, Voryn used Tools to trasfer some of Heart's essence into himself. After he returned, Nerevar demanded the Tools in order to destroy them. Voryn refused, as he stated he was entrusted to guard them. Nobody knows what exactly happened next; Nerevar was mortaly wounded, and Voryn was killed. However, he survived due to Heart's power and named himself Dagoth Ur. Millenias after, he planed to purge Morrowind of all non-Dunmer, conquer all of Tamtiel, and infect all with corprus; making him God of all races. So, calling him an anti-hero is like calling corprus a mild cold. This is incorrect. Nerevar never returned to Red Mountain. During the battle, he was mortally wounded, and asked that Dagoth stay behind to guard the tools until he returned. He was able to make it back to the Tribunal to confer with them about the Heart of Lorkahn and its powers, extracted an oath that they would never use them, and shortly died afterwards (whether or not it was a murder plot by the Tribunal is questionable). However, he never returned to Red Mountain. After his death, the Tribunal went to Red Mountain to take the tools and the heart (whether or not they intended to use them at the time or to honor their oath is another questionable circumstance), where they met Dagoth who refused to give them up to anyone but Nerevar. The Tribunal fought and killed Dagoth, and used the heart to become living gods. It is uncertain if Dagoth had been driven insane by the heart's power before or after his defeat, but he likely never used the tools, as he didn't need them and was able to tap into the power of the heart even without them.

This is the official history written on the wiki. The only source that suggests Nerevar was murded by Dagoth is The Battle of Red Mountain written by Vivec during the height of the Tribunal. I do not consider this a viable source of information, as it was written by Vivec, one of the three that had broken their oath to Nerevar, and was written with the intention of keeping the people in line. He doesn't even go on to even mention the Nerevarine Prophecy.

Meanwhile, Nerevar at Red Mountain was written by one of Nerevar's close allies, and even mentions the Nerevarine Prophecy. Vivec's tale of the events was actually written as a response to these ideas.
