If you guys were paying attention to the audio after Kaneki and Arima were looking at each other, when the screen went all black, there was a short clicking sound. I'm assuming it was the click of Arima's weapon, so it's implied that a fight occured, just not what happened in its duration and after it.

Also, (in the anime, cause I haven't read the manga yet) I don't think Hide died because when Anteiku was on fire and all and Kaneki started crying, the tear fell on Hide's face and it twitched into a sort of smile, and his head didn't fall, too. Sooo since he was able to hold his head up, he's probably still alive.
