If from the bottom, an opening must have been created long enough for the fly to fly undetected into the colon

this is simutaneously horrifying but also really quite intriguing!

This is obviously the only way. There's no way the fly would survive not being digested even after emptying his bowels.

They say intact, but I'd suggest this fly is scarred for life

Isn't that kinda what flies do, to digest their food? Sure you're not a fly yourself?

I don't know why he swallowed the fly. But did he die?

You'd think all the shit they give you to drink to clear out your colon would have gotten rid of it.
