It's possible, a plane crash is a good way to fake a death, there isn't even a need to show a body. Maybe Prigozhin now lives under a fake name as a chef in the fanciest restaurant in Niamey. But I find it far more likely Putin ordered this to set an example to potential traitors. It'll have a chilling effect but might backfire later on. A hypothetical coup plotter in Russia will now have learned two things from the Wagner mutiny: 1) you can march through several oblasts in the span of hours, with next to no opposition, because few will put their lives on the line for Putin; 2) don't stop halfway through to make a deal with Putin, he's not a man of his word. Win or die trying.
