I think Coulson finished Whitehall. Whitehall's butchering of Skye's mom shows that despite her age-defying powers she couldn't defy death. So it's safe to assume Whitehall wouldn't survive either, even though he harvested organs to stay young. It's the writers' way of saying to the audience at the end of the day Whitehall is really a nothing, a small fish in a big galactic pond. It's a perfect twist - having an ego-manicial bad guy with dreams of world domination go out in such a low key way - mortally wounded by gun fire. Plus, Whitehall finally answers for his war crimes and atrocities. It took seventy years but justice was served.
