I was discussing this with Mr Lambright this morning; what's the bet they decanted Mr Prigozhin from a freezer before they loaded him on the plane? Spoiler: no odds were being given or accepted.
Even the New Daily is saying Prigozhin is 'dead' instead of dead. It's becoming cartoonish.
Quite the coincidence this plane crashing with this him on board. i aM SuRe rUsSiA'S AiR AcCiDeNt iNvEsTiGaTiOn cOmMiSsIoN InVeStIgAtIoN WiLl fInD OuT WhAt hApPeNeD?
Putin: "Yevgeny, i am worried about you not touching doors yourself or putting on only unwrapped underwear. I think you should get on a plane and come visit me. . . . . . .". Bloody horrific that this stuff is so accepted that we can just joke about it all (and use sources like windows, and umbrella stabbing and door handles and underwear, the list goes on).
If Putin is responsible (and on balance that seems like a reasonable conclusion), it's horrifying that 9 other people died for this outcome. Those people might have been Wagner or Wagner-adjacent, but still an incredibly ruthless act.
Guys like Vladimir shrug at collateral damage. BTW, according to reports, the bird was filled with close associates from Wagner, and the crew died on the scene. The pilot, co-pilot, and flight attendant.
The Shovel nailed it:

I'm going with 'dead'. He wasn't trying on all those fancy wigs and disguises for nothing.

In breaking news many of Putin's allies are now refusing to walk up stairs, climb ladders or wear platform shoes.
Couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke.
I love when terrible things happen to terrible people.
Russia has the most dangerous windows in the world
We now know why Vladimir Vladmirovitsch has an Oystercard, excuse me Oyster train ... ;-)
Hot topic. My mate chat contribution was:

Jason figured it was Prigozhin's family and associates. Why waste a large number of windows when you can crash a single plane? It's horrifying.
The crew though
Yikes. Although we're assuming they didn't bail out before the crash....

Gosh that's awful
He wouldn’t eat his borscht.....subtle as a sledgehammer.
Always thought Putin's opponents were clumsy. This proves it.
