Semyon Pegov aka WarGonzo is a "Russian blogger, journalist and propagandist" per Wikipedia. Some commentators claim they have identified him in combat footage where he would appear to be KIA.
Dutch media claiming Pegov was KIA: https://twitter.com/NOS/status/1671587171168395265
Pegov's Twitter account denying that claim: https://twitter.com/wargonzoo/status/1670879191913340928
Resolves YES if e.g. pro-Russian sources such as his Twitter account admit he was KIA.
Resolves NO if e.g. more recent footage or pictures of him alive appear, or if those commentators or pro-Ukrainian sources admit he's alive.

Resolved to NO because of these two videos that appeared on Twitter on September 8th about an event in Saur-Mogila in which Pegov participated:

https://x.com/Ghost132607472/status/1700251366952927381 in most of the video
Many other videos from many other accounts show the event at this date.
I won't entertain theories about look-alikes or body doubles.
Oh and here he is discussing Prigozhin's death and legacy: https://dzen.ru/video/watch/64e8e4b416e38207e0dbdfe9?share_to=telegram (my Russian is quite poor, but he appears to be saying stuff relevant to the situation)
Looks quite alive to me in this video claimed to be from July 27th telegram: https://t.me/wargonzo/14031, twitter repost by a likely fake account https://twitter.com/wargonzoo/status/1684536794090557440 It is however hard to date the actual footage (they discuss fighting in Avdiivka, but that's been happening for a looong time)
