Experts are zeroing in on a theory around a plane crash that Russia says killed Yevgeny Prigozhin.
According to CNN, fragments of Prigozhin's plane were scattered throughout a 4-mile radius.
Analyzing the wreckage"It is very difficult to understand what happened without a proper investigation," Daniel Kwasi Adjekum, an aviation expert at the University of North Dakota, told CNN.
So far, flight data from Flightradar24 also paints a patchy picture, showing Prigozhin's plane steeply dropping 8,000 feet in the last 30 seconds of the flight.
Robert Schmucker, a rocket expert who works with NATO, also told CNN that the manner in which the plane plummeted down from the sky was highly suspicious.
