UPDATED – Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin was on a plane that crashed in western Russia killing all on board, according to the country’s aviation authority
His name was on the list of those “declared as travelling on board” the plane, along with key Wagner commander Dmitry Utkin
The Russian Emergencies Ministry has said that private aircraft "came down” near the village of Kuzhenkino

Did the plane fall out of a window?
Fell right into a missile evidently
When I read that I thought Russia was going to blame Ukraine, but apparently it was going from Moscow to St. Petersburg, so that wouldn’t make sense.
Definitely fell down a staircase
If I’m ever in Russia, I think I’ll stick to windowless one-story buildings.
Had to know it would happen sooner rather than later.
I’m just surprised the plane was shot down in Russian airspace. Putin’s not even trying to hide his assinations anymore.
I’m surprised it took this long, I thought he’d be dead within a week of his failed coup. Assuming, of course, that he was even really on board.
This will rustle some jimmies.
He should have stuck with his hot-dog cart.
Seems convenient.
Well, at least it wasn’t a slow painful Polonium or Novichok death.

Relatively quick retribution, no? Will this have any effect though besides confirming that if you cross Putin, you die?
Wagner allied channels are talking of another march on Moscow.
But without a unifying leader? Who knows?
Now that would be interesting. If they started and actually completed the march.
Sounds like time for a deepfake Prigozhin to start showing up as part of a sabotage campaign within Russias borders…
Dammit, I had plutonium tea on my bingo card.
“Pilot error”
Pilot leaned out of the window too much and fell off.
Pilot flew into a missile.
