Death in hospital or at home?

Newstreet · 2014-11-14 11:44:43

A couple of death certs give a hospital as place of death. Many other death certs give a home address. Probably a stupid question, does this mean that the individuals died at home, or would they have died in hospital and had the home address put on the death cert? Are the death certs specific about place of death?

the certs should show actual place of death, sometimes a 'home' address is included underneath

On the ones that have an address other than a hospital address I've taken it that those people died at home
