Ward is Hydra no doubt-- but it is still possible that Hand was simply unconscious and bleeding, His tracking badge was still working when Skye tried to track him down, When she took off her badge earlier in the show, she disappeared from his tracking screen-- so the badge is tied to a heartbeat or body temperature at the very least. Could be dead or alive-- window is still open in my book, Probably not a super important point though unless you want to see more Patton Oswald on the show -- which I wouldn't mind.
or do I have that tracking thing wrong?
