No matter what Eto's fans have been through, or what Eto deserves, it's up to Ishida how to end it.

There are no signs that Eto is alive, she was not mentioned in chapter 179, implying she has indeed passed, and she was last seen in 178, seemingly sleeping, peacefully with a smile.

Until Ishida says she has survived or died, we have no way of knowing.

It was only implied she is dead by not mentioning her, it was not confirmed. She may still be alive. I personally would say she's dead, but this is similar to Shroedingers Cat.

You know, the experiment where scientists trapped a cat in a box and put poisoned food into the box. If the cat ate it, it is dead, if it did not, it is alive, however without looking inside the box we have no way of knowing, so it is both dead and alive. I think this is in Eto's case, too, for want of a better description of the situation.
