Ancient records tell of an exalted Ronkan priestess who consigned her mortal flesh to flame, and in death rose anew, her soul eternally bound to the Greatwood. For thousands upon thousands of years has she watched over these lands.

The answerer provides good reasoning of their own but also provides a link to an academic paper’s abstract, here: https://read.dukeupress.edu/ethnohistory/article-abstract/63/1/1/9295/Unraveling-Ix-Tab-Revisiting-the-Suicide-Goddess
Succinctly, suicide by hanging didn’t seem to be a Maya thing at all, though it did exist in Spanish culture. So, Ixtab as the goddess of suicide by hanging seems to be de Landa’s invention.
