Did Mary Die or Fall Alseep before Her Assumption?

I agree with those who think Fr. Z has defined "deposit of faith" too narrowly. Surely something doesn't have to be infallibly defined for it to enter the "deposit of faith"?
Clearly, the overwhelming weight of tradition is toward an earthly death for Our Blessed Lady prior to her Assumption. I think it is erroneous to say that this tradition is not a part of the "deposit of faith", even if it is not required as a matter of dogma to be held de fide.
In fact, it was from a similar tradition that the Assumption existed as part of the "deposit of faith" before it was dogmatically defined.
