Edit 20:00 on Friday - the Guardian has published his obituary so now we're just waiting on one of the other two!

Reputable news sources are currently reporting that Yevgeny Prigozhin was listed as a passenger in a plane that was involved in a fatal crash.

Will it be confirmed by 11:00 PM UK time on Sunday (the closing date of this market) that he is dead?

I will resolve this to YES if two of the following three news sources report that he is dead without caveating it as "reported to be dead", "believed to be dead", "almost certainly dead" or anything like that:

• BBC

• Guardian

• Reuters

There is also a market on whether the news will be confirmed by these sources by Thursday evening:

Edit - just to add that I will not be trading in this market myself. I think the resolution is pretty clear and objective (it's based on whether the three news sources I've named are stating that he is dead without qualification) but I want to make sure that no one thinks I have an incentive to bend the definition in any way!
