Many believe that (that includes me before) Mary did not die, i.e. she was taken straight into heaven. But such is wrong, Mary died first before she was assumed into heaven. (see this link christian blog). In fact there were arguments whether her tomb was in Jerusalem or Ephesus.
It's just proper for Mary to die before being taken into heaven because unles a seed fell into the ground it remains still a seed . . . she needs to die in order to be transformed into her glorified body.
Imagine if Mary was taken stright into heaven with her earthly body, then she will be the least in heaven for our eartly body is full of imperfections.
Like Jesus, they found an empty tomb in Mary's case. She was taken into heaven not with her earthly body, but with her glorified body.
