In the manga, he is missing and there is a possibility that he's dead. I feel as if the anime could also take this route. Plus, it wasn't too evident that he died, since even after you assumed he was dead suddenly he smiled when he felt kanekis tear on him. Kaneki was lifeless and ready to burn with his friend until this point, so maybe upon realizing he was still breathing, he decided to take him to the ccg, where he could easily get medical attention. It was definitly a horrible idea on his part, but he is known for his selflessness and has stated that he would do anything to protect his friends. He could have passed out due to a lack of blood. We didn't even see the wound, all we saw was him loosing a ton of blood, so it might have not been in a fatal area. At the same token, it definitely looks like he's dead and since he's only a human, it's very possible. There was no complete evidence of his death and there was no complete evidence of his survival. Usually, when a character dies, it's extremly obvious, like you see them literally get ripped in half or you see their grave. Personally, I don't want to make an assumption until it is stated in the anime. There wasn't enough closure on it.
