    A plane crash can make it easier to claim an alive man is dead as there may not be a body.

    I could see this as a means to keep Wagner troops loyalties in check, or just to keep everyone guessing. The most likely scenario though is that Putin did what Putin does which is assassination.

      The body doesn’t magically disappear. Although it is probably in many, many pieces, this can be confirmed through DNA testing on small samples.

          Wouldn’t they want to do that to show off their work? Or I guess not so they can distance themselves from it and pretend it never happened.
