>>We don’t know whether or not Mary died.<<

So the dormition of Mary wasn't really the dormition of Mary right? And that whole story about the apostles being transported to her bedside at her death was just a fake? A fable? What was that?

I think if it weren't for double speak Catholics wouldn't have much to say.

But they know she was "assumed" into heaven

Nothing you mention is part of the teaching of the Catholic Church. It's not in any canonical Scripture, but that doesn't mean it's false or a "fake." No Catholic is required to believe or even be aware of the stories you mention.

In the East, it is generally held that Mary died. In the West, the more common opinion is that she did not.
