Everyone has died…

2 Corinthians 5:14-15 New King James Version (NKJV)For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.

All have died, just not everyone has come to newness of life waking up from that dead state.

They clearly distorted that text in that modern version, here is Youngs Literal Translation..
2 Corinthians 5:14-15 YLT
for the love of the Christ doth constrain us, having judged thus: that if one for all died, then the whole died,

Here is the Easy to read version,

”We know what it means to fear the Lord, so we try to help people accept the truth. God knows what we really are, and I hope that in your hearts you know us too. We are not trying to prove ourselves to you again. But we are telling you about ourselves. We are giving you reasons to be proud of us. Then you will have an answer for those who are proud about what can be seen. They don’t care about what is in a person’s heart. If we are crazy, it is for God. If we have our right mind, it is for you. The love of Christ controls us, because we know that one person died for everyone. So all have died. He died for all so that those who live would not continue to live for themselves. He died for them and was raised from death so that they would live for him.“
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭5‬:‭11‬-‭15‬ ‭ERV‬‬

Now there is much in the Bible about going to the grave when you die, but this is just the death appointed to all.
Hebrews 9:27
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

But we have in the scripture what is the the second death which is the penalty for sin...
Revelation 20:6
Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

Did Christ die the second death on the cross, and can you give Biblical backing for this.
No He did not. the second death is reserved only for unbelievers and is to be cast alive and immortal into the lake of fire.
