A:There are two persons called Lazarus in the New Testament. The first is in a parable in Luke's Gospel, which tells of Lazarus hypothetically raised from the dead. This Lazarus was not intended to be understood as a real person, so the question does not apply.

The second is in John's Gospel, which says that Jesus raised him from the dead after several days. Presumably Lazarus must have died again in good time, but the gospel does not say anything about the second death of Lazarus, although it does say that the priests talked about having Lazarus killed (John 12:10). John's Gospel as a whole is loosely based on Luke's Gospel, and it can be demonstrated that this story of Lazarus, Mary and Martha was inspired by Luke's Lazarus, Mary and Martha. Thus, even John's Lazarus was not a real person. John's Gospel does not say that Lazarus died, but there is nothing in the story to suggest that he would live forever.
