I'm not totally convinced he's dead.
This looks too staged. You don't get to the top of a merc group like that by making dumb mistakes like this.

Then again, who the fucks knows. Maybe you do in Russia.

I'm 50/50 on him being killed vs being allowed to fake his death

This was my first thought.

Best way to stay alive is to cross a land border, get on another plane under an assumed identity, and go as far away as possible, letting your real name pretend to take flights until a plane goes down and you're never found.

Russia has a history of following dissidents to other countries and assassinating them. The only way to avoid that fate would be for Putin to already think you're dead.

Well, his plane was already "shot down" a few years ago, so who knows...
