>>You have proof of her death?<<

Oh please. How long will Catholics deny the statements from the MUNIFICENTISSIMUS DEUS of Pope Pius XII which they believe to be infallible?

In the same way, it was not difficult for them to admit that the great Mother of God, like her only begotten Son, had actually passed from this life. But this in no way prevented them from believing and from professing openly that her sacred body had never been subject to the corruption of the tomb, and that the august tabernacle of the Divine Word had never been reduced to dust and ashes. [MUNIFICENTISSIMUS DEUS Pope Pius XII 14]

"Venerable to us, O Lord, is the festivity of this day on which the holy Mother of God suffered temporal death, but still could not be kept down by the bonds of death, who has begotten your Son our Lord incarnate from herself." [MUNIFICENTISSIMUS DEUS Pope Pius XII 17]

As he kept you a virgin in childbirth, thus he has kept your body incorrupt in the tomb and has glorified it by his divine act of transferring it from the tomb. [MUNIFICENTISSIMUS DEUS Pope Pius XII 18]

And, when our predecessor St. Sergius I prescribed what is known as the litany, or the stational procession, to be held on four Marian feasts, he specified together the Feasts of the Nativity, the Annunciation, the Purification, and the Dormition of the Virgin Mary. [MUNIFICENTISSIMUS DEUS Pope Pius XII 19]

They offered more profound explanations of its meaning and nature, bringing out into sharper light the fact that this feast shows, not only that the dead body of the Blessed Virgin Mary remained incorrupt, but that she gained a triumph out of death, her heavenly glorification after the example of her only begotten Son, Jesus Christ-truths that the liturgical books had frequently touched upon concisely and briefly. [MUNIFICENTISSIMUS DEUS Pope Pius XII 19]

It was fitting that she, who had kept her virginity intact in childbirth, should keep her own body free from all corruption even after death. [MUNIFICENTISSIMUS DEUS Pope Pius XII 21]

she has received an eternal incorruptibility of the body together with him who has raised her up from the tomb and has taken her up to himself in a way known only to him. [MUNIFICENTISSIMUS DEUS Pope Pius XII 22]

preserved and exempt from all the corruption of the tomb and raised up to such glory in heaven. [MUNIFICENTISSIMUS DEUS Pope Pius XII 26]

for it is wrong to believe that her body has seen corruption-because it was really united again to her soul and, together with it, crowned with great glory in the heavenly courts. [MUNIFICENTISSIMUS DEUS Pope Pius XII 28]

And St. Alphonsus writes that "Jesus did not wish to have the body of Mary corrupted after death, since it would have redounded to his own dishonor to have her virginal flesh, from which he himself had assumed flesh, reduced to dust. [MUNIFICENTISSIMUS DEUS Pope Pius XII 35]

By those statements the Catholic Church "infallibly" declared that Mary died. Can we stop already with the nonsense of Catholics denying that it did so?

Psalm 13:3
Look on me and answer, Lord my God. Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death,
 
Psalm 90:5
Yet you sweep people away in the sleep of death— they are like the new grass of the morning:
 
Daniel 12:2
Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt.
 
 
John 11:12-13
His disciples replied, “Lord, if he sleeps, he will get better.”
Jesus had been speaking of his death, but his disciples thought he meant natural sleep.
 

1 Corinthians 15:51-52
Listen, I tell you a mystery:
We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet.
For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
 

Ephesians 5:14
This is why it is said: “Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”
 
 
1 Thessalonians 4:13
Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope.
