Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.
[Genesis 5:24, New American Standard Bible]

As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind.
[2 Kings 2:11, New International Bible]
Enoch & Elijah: neither died.
