Did Lazarus die twice?

Our Lord enters the tomb today. His beloved friend Lazarus had preceeded him there earlier that year, foreshadowing the general resurrection of the faithful at the end of time.

It raises the question: at the end of Lazarus's earthly life, did he ascend into heaven, or did he die again? Does it make sense that one person would have two resurrections? That would be unprecedented in the Bible.

I think Lazarus was assumed into heaven body and soul.
