It depends how long the body has been dead. Flies are attracted to foul smelling things so it depends on the dead body.

Maggots eat rotted, dead flesh, so if your cat's sore has maggots in it, chances are it's infected or even gangrenous. Take the cat to the vet! If you cannot afford to take it to the vet, take it to the Humane Society and surrender it to them so they can give it the treatment it needs.
Unless it's a dead cat, those are most likely tapeworm segments. They cannot be killed without a medication you can get from a veterinarian.
it takes up to 48 hours
In a temperate region the dead body starts to decompose more faster than other climatic conditions....
Fly eggs hatch after about one day. Actual maggots become apparent after about four days. It is then about three weeks before they become flies.
how long does it take before you can smell s dead animal
NO! Take it to a vet immediately! If you have a long haired rabbit, and it has feces stuck in it's fur, flies will lay eggs, and cause maggots. Always ensure that you groom your rabbit regularly. If your rabbit has got maggots, like the other answer says "Take it to the veterinarian".
Maggots will usually eat dead. Don't worry about them eating you but some cases have been reported about them eating necrotic/dead tissue on a live person. They are important to the world because they eat dead things. They have tiny tiny mouths so it will take them a long time to eat a whole dead rat or bird. They also eat ants-- I saw one chasing an ant in my house!
