He's dead, so stop looking. He's not in a Russian basement with electrodes on his balls or anything, he's dead!

You want a some DNA? I can get you a some DNA, believe me. There are ways, Dude.
The FSB might get it wrong again and deliver s signed NDA and The Sims expansion DLC.
with electrodes on his balls
That sounds kind of hot tho
That's a little quick. They would have needed prior blood samples of each individual on the plane, or blood samples of close relatives of each individual.
Putin needs it to be believed that Prigozhin was rubbed out because this is part of how he maintains power- through fear.
Doesn't seem unlikely that they had blood samples of him, given he was a legitimate military target for the Ukaine long before his falling out of favour with Putin.
It's been 3 days. As a former prison inmate, they most certainly had his DNA on file.
It'll be interesting to see what the mobs do to Putin one day.
I am sure they have those samples on hand given who he was.
No, they don't. You don't even need blood samples to begin with. But even if you did, you don't need any DNA from the other passengers to confirm Prigozhin's remains. Also, it's not quick, it's a reasonable window of time.
Hair or saliva is enough to get a fairly accurate DNA sample. The now-KGB would have had no trouble procuring that in the past.
Maybe they actually checked before the flight by putting a bullet in his head?
Russia says
So he's definitely (not) dead, right?
He's getting tortured somewhere
Given that the only man who wanted to kill him and could kill him is Putin, so he's dead. There's no reason for him to fake it.
He could be alive, but there is no real reason for him to not come forward to prove he is alive (Russia would know he didn't die in that plane after testing)
So he is dead
"Russia says"
When the news came, he was killed by Putin. Now, he couldn't be dead, but being tortured in some hell governed by Putin. Quite the propaganda around here.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
MOSCOW, Aug 27 (Reuters) - Russian investigators said on Sunday that genetic tests had confirmed that Yevgeny Prigozhin, chief of the Wagner mercenary group, was among the 10 people killed in a plane crash last Wednesday.
Russia's aviation agency had previously published the names of all 10 people on board the private jet which crashed in the Tver region northwest of Moscow.
They included Prigozhin and Dmitry Utkin, his right-hand man who helped found the Wagner group.
The private jet crashed two months to the day after Prigozhin led an abortive mutiny against Russia's army top brass.
President Vladimir Putin described that mutiny as a treacherous "stab in the back", but later met with Prigozhin in the Kremlin.
He sent his condolences on Thursday to the families of those the aviation agency said had died in the crash.
The original article contains 195 words, the summary contains 138 words. Saved 29%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Ah, but what's their story as to why the plane crashed?
It fell off a window.
The plane was depressed and committed suicide. Such is life in Russia.
The plane actually jumped out of a hotel window and landed on some unexploded ordnance
Plane falls out of sky, find DNA, assume person is dead? You just got fooled by the oldest trick in the book. i.e., The reason Bane does a quick blood transfusion at the start of Dark Knight Rises.

From the government who was falsifying drug test at the Olympics using their secret service. Right...
It was an accident. He fell out through a window in the plane
Could have just done launched a missile inventory audit.
