Default Sorry! It's "die of and die from" not "die of

Hello,

I am sorry! My question should be the difference between "die of " and "die from," there was a typo, sorry!


thanks for the patience

Yep, quite often they mean the same thing. They are used somewhat differently though to some extent. A Google search turned up:

"die from" = 510,000
"die from eating" = 1,640
"die from ingesting" = 266
"die from inhaling" = 162

"die of" = 472,000
"die of eating" = 241
"die of ingesting" = 2
"die of inhaling" = 9


Interesting, huh? Well, maybe not.

Regards,
RonBee
