No, I think that's taking the parallels a little too far. Kaneki's father died when he was a toddler, and his mother died from overwork, something known as Karoshi in Japan. That they have a specific term for it should tell you how much of an issue it is over there.

No where is there any evidence that Kaneki did anything. His mother worked herself to death.
