As far as hints go, another commenter pointed out how Quiet speaks with a Spanish accent during her first appearance, as did Chico. They also share similar complexion, hair and eye color. Kojima claimed Quiet would be the antithesis of female video game characters. We've so far seen no indication that his statement was true. There's a theme in the game about plastic surgery and body augmentation. All of this, and Quiet's mysterious origins, is why people are still theorizing her identity.

I don't necessarily believe these theories are true, but there is evidence. Kojima never explained why Chico had the headphones or why Amanda was acting suspicious in Ground Zeroes. There's no cutscene or proof of Chico being dead, just a tape.

Maybe Kojima intended to use Chico in Silent Hills. If you remember the trailer for the game, it briefly showed a boy who looked like Chico. Thing is, it's still straw grasping because speaking Spanish and having the same eye colors is certainly not credible evidence. And yes I know about the Cobra Unit but that was retroactively applied, so unless in a new installment, or DLC they reveal Quiet to be Chico, then it is save to assume the kid is dead.
