I think you're taking it too literally. What I mean is a case of "Never found the body", where we don't actually see what happens.

There is enough grounds for reasonable doubt, considering some of the truly shocking things we have seen Ghouls survive throughout the series (Kaneki's double-lobotomy, Uta's head split, Kanae's decapitation, Noro's multiple occasions of being torn in half, Rize being crushed). The point being that we have absolutely no gauge for the limitations of Eto herself, other than "she can give others abnormal regeneration".

Plus, she falls cackling when it has already been established multiple times that she can use her kagune to glide. All her vital organs and kakuhou are intact, Kaneki basically sliced her off at hip-level.
