Only thing I am seeing on this is that two of Wagner's private jets were in the air, and one crashed over St. Petersburg while taking off from Moscow.

The other jet that belongs to him turned around and landed in Moscow airport after losing contact with the first. Which is pretty strange.

It is assumed that The leader Prigozhin and his 2nd in command were supposedly on board. As Russia state media is claiming they are dead.

However, Russia State Media has been lying quite a bit though this war, so it has to be taken with a grain of salt.

As of now ~~7~~ 10 bodies have been found.

However, just day's earlier, Prigozhin was seen in Africa as if "announcing their services" to a developing situation. So why did he suddenly end up in Moscow? The one place he knows he isn't safe?!

Edit:
2:24pm
Wagner's media is also claiming they both died.

He has been flying around Russia quite a bit since the coup, clearly he thought he was safe.
