The numbers floating around were 30-50%, I didn't look into the methods they used to get that (medicine is unfortunately full of bad use of statistics), but it's consistent with the modeled mortality rate of 0.5-1% (vs. a bit higher observed in confirmed cases), so my gut feeling is that's about right.

You can use metadata on patient reported date of onset of illness and hospital capacity to determine how many people would've died at home to pretty good accuracy.
