Well, again, that’s where you are wrong.

We don’t know and the Church does not officially teach on where or when or who may have witnessed Mary’s death.

There is a story regarding it, which the Church has not declared as absolute truth.

****The assumption of Mary also contradicts the scripture of the first and second resurrection accounts.****

No, it does not, for when Jesus was questioned about John, what did He say?

22 Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me.

.23 Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?

If Jesus wills that His mother be with Him in heaven, what is that to thee?

So the whole thing is made up of myth. Good grief.

Because it contradicts scripture.

Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy are those who have part in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years.

Mary was not the first resurrection.
