I don't think so. Death from Overwork is a common thing in Japan, unfortunately.

I've seen the line translated a few different ways, but overall it's a call-back to the original series. Kaneki often compared himself to an insect, and he's comparing his mother to one as well. Plus, that's him basically going YAY I GET TO DIE NOW.
