 * because I see a lot of comments about Hide being wrapped in a blanket*

In Japan the color white is associated with death. Traditionally, when a person dies they're dressed from head to toe in nothing but white, usually in a burial kimono.

In modern Japan this isn't practiced as much as it used to be but I think it's pretty apparent that Kaneki wrapping Hide's entire body in a white cloth is meant to be representative of old Japanese funeral traditions and was his way of paying repects to his friend.

The blanket is good 'ol fashioned symbolism that would be better understood by the Japanese audiance so I'm pretty sure poor Hide is gone gone.
