How Mary Died?
How Mary, the mother of Jesus, died?
Based on what I found out, there are some theories that says that she died between 3 and 15 years after the crucifixion of Jesus in company of the Apostles. I also found one that says she was murdered by the 'sword'. The Bible doesn't not mention anything about her death.
Any ideas on how she died?

I found this on the internet:

| Mary's Death St. Irenaeus (d. 220) tells us that the beloved disciple, John, preached in Ephesus after Pentecost. Presumably, Mary accompanied him there. The Ecumenical Council at Ephesus (431 A.D.) mentions an already-ancient Church commemorating them nearby. One ancient tradition claims that Mary died and was buried at Ephesus. Scholars consider this evidence inconclusive. We do not know exactly where Mary died or in what year. Another ancient tradition claims Jerusalem as the site of her death and burial. The Catholic dogma of the Assumption teaches that Mary was taken into heaven body and soul (I.e. as a whole person) after the course of her earthly life. The dogma does not specify where, when or how her life ended. Indeed, 'at the end of her earthly course' does not explicitly state that she 'died' in the normal sense. Though not formally a dogma, Mary's entrance into heaven after falling asleep is also the universal ordinary teaching of Eastern Orthodoxy. This belief is consistent with a Marian reading of Rev. 12. Since Rev 12:5 identifies The Woman as the one who gave birth to the Messiah, a Marian interpretation is justified. However, the Church considers other interpretations perfectly valid (e.g. The Woman as Israel or The Church). https://www.udayton.edu/mary/questions/faq/faq02.html |
Of course, I have no idea how accurate it is, but there are scriptural references mentioned to support what it says.
Here is more from the same site that speaks of the Catholic doctrine of assumption relative to Mary:
| QUOTE |
| Finally, the Assumption of Mary is celebrated on August 15. The liturgical commemoration for the 'Falling Asleep of Mary' [Dormitio or Koimesis] originated in the Christian Orient around the 5th century, perhaps considerably earlier in Ephesus. The site of her death is not known, though Jerusalem and Ephesus are mentioned in ancient accounts. Roman Catholics celebrate the Queenship of Mary on August 22 to conclude the Octave of her Assumption. As with Mary's Conception and Birth, many of the details associated with this event are presented only in later apocryphal texts (e.g. Transitus Mariae from the 5th century). Though the event lacks explicit biblical and apostolic support, the fact that no posthumous relics (e.g. bone) exist from her body is suggestive. In 1950, Pope Pius XII defined Mary's Assumption into heaven as a dogma of Roman Catholicism: "the Immaculate Mother of God, the ever Virgin Mary, having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heaven." The proclamation of this dogma was made in the encyclical: Munificentissimus Deus. |

Tena, thank you for the great information.

This statement seem to be in relation to what JB was saying about Mary being transfigured, although it is not specified in the scriptures, I would not be surprised if she was.

Makes sense if you're worthy enough to have the savior of the world come from your own flesh and blood then its likely you're worthy to leave this rock in glory.
