It could have happened either way and the doctrine of the Assumption has not defined it. It is most probable that she died and, shortly after she was buried, her body was taken to Heaven to be united with her soul.

Did the Blessed Virgin Mary die a natural death?
There are two possible situations. Either Mary, at the end of her time on earth, was assumed into Heaven without experiencing death or she died and, shortly after her death, her body was assumed into Heaven and reunited with her soul.
