I think it's basically this. It's not for certain that he is gone but it makes sense. They've basically set up him to be in a coma or suffering from brain damage. They've left themselves a way to explain why he isn't there next season and it would surprise me if they bring him made instead of spending his salary elsewhere. I thought that having two tech geeks on the team was somewhat unique but also surprised they did it. I thought one of them would go through the stereotypical "training to become a field agent" type of thing. I guess that character was already Skye (actually a techie as well). If they decide they want to keep him a recover is an option but it was clearly the noble sacrifice of his life for the woman he loves. Not the first time we've seen that happen for a character that a show didn't think worked as well as they wanted.
