There's chance none of them were alive when the plane took off.
The cool thing about plane crashes is that they make autopsies reeaally superficial.

Why would you bother? Just hide a bomb in the landing gear bay when servicing the plane just before taxi.

Yeah, but that doesn't answer the question "what was he doing in a land where they want him dead?"

Ah, right, the plane took off on its own, did it? Remind me again of the avionics in an Embraer? I didn't realise they had introduced communication with ATC, navigating the airport etc. completely automatically.

Dude I'm really not trying to build a conspiracy theory, all I'm saying is that it doesn't need a Machiavellian genius to put 10 corpses on a plane, fly it at altitude and jump off with a parachute before it crashes in the forest. It's like "Action movie 101".

But the plane was flying at cruise speed and there’s only two exits on the Legacy 600 - left side passenger door or over the wings. Either of of those gets a pilot sucked straight into an engine. A few people have parachuted off a passenger plane, but only through emergency exits behind the wings or the tail staircase.

You obviously know about planes more than me.
Still I agree with @RonJonGuaido that Prigozhin had no logic reason to be on a flight (other than being someway forced to do that)

Also adding a quick comment to apologise for my snide comment in the beginning. I think I hadn’t gotten my morning coffee yes - an explanation but no excuse. Sorry.
