in or at her home?

Post by tamguatlay »

Korean actress Oh In-hye died at the age of 36 on Monday, September 14, after she was found unconscious at her home. She was rushed to hospital and underwent emergency procedures before dying due to cardiac arrest.

1. Should it be "in her home" instead? I can't imagine anyone found dead outside the home.

2. Can "from" replace "due to"?

Thanks!

1. Either is fine, with no difference ('at' is more common in BrE).

2. Yes!
