Yes there has. During Ulysses S. Grant's second term as the 18th President, his Vice President, Henry Wilson, died in office in 1875. He served for 2 years, 8 months.

William Rufus King, vice-president for Pierce died after about a month in office.

He was sick when he was sworn in and never actually got to Washington to serve.

Garrett Hobart, vice-president during McKinley's first term died in office. His death opened the way for Theodore Roosevelt to run with McKinley the second time.

No one has ever been elected by the Senate to be Vice-President of the United States. If the office of Vice President is vacant, the President apppoints a Vice-President with the advice and consent of the Senate. This is not an election, but a vote of approval. If a candidate slate for President / Vice-President does not obtain a majority of votes in the Electoral College, the decision falls to the House of Representatives, not to the Senate.
