Like I've said elsewhere, I think assuming that Hide simply died in the sewers ignores a lot of details Ishida left for the audience to pick up on.


 * The CCG labels Hide "Missing", not "Deceased". This during a battle where they were labeling everyone dead, when we know that Aogiri was really snatching people up. So the CCG itself seems to consider his survival possible.
 * Kaneki states that there was "no trace" of Hide. Ghouls don't literally consume everything, so there should have been some remains or at least clothing left behind. Instead, there's no sign of him.
 * Hide is one of the few major characters in the series without a profile or any revealed personal history. That Ishida has chosen to do that indicates some intention on his part, because he's given profiles to characters much less significant. (Madam A, Misato Gori, ect)

Plus, Ishida teased the fandom with the Calendar and Hide hanging from a cliff.
