I did say "may" not "definitely" as we do not have enough information to know for sure. BUT, I am sure Hide is alive. There is still much more to the plot to him (his past, his family, his role in the story apart from being Kaneki's friend etc.), also there is one weird thing that's been bothering me for a while (clears throat):

Amon, Seidou and various investigators: bodies not found; CCG declares them as dead (which we know it's false)

Hide: body not found, CCG gives him the MISSING status

WHY IS HE JUST "MISSING" AND NOT "DECLARED DEAD" LIKE THE REST?! Sure he may not be an investigator, but he participated in the raid and even had potential to be part of the Division II (promotion expected him). And yet, he has that status... something's really shady around here...

Also, Hide seemed to ask Akira and Amon about Kanou, and we find out that Kanou retired from the CCG (and eventually gave up on humanity) after he went to Germany perhaps (and I'm quoting Hide here) "because he saw something he didn't want to see". What if Hide went to Germany to see what Kanou saw hmm...

But well who am I to judge?! It's just a theory!
