A fly could have secretly entered the body through the nose or some other body orifice before the casket was sealed.
Maggots can come from fly eggs that were already present on the body before it was placed in the casket. Flies can lay eggs on a body quickly after death, even before it is buried. Additionally, some flies may gain access to the body as it decomposes through small openings in the casket.
Maggots can feed on a body inside a casket if they have gained access to it through natural decomposition processes or by other means of entry. They are often one of the first organisms to decompose soft tissues in a dead body.
Flies lay their eggs in decaying organic matter, such as a dead animal, where they quickly hatch into larvae known as maggots. When a fly dies, the eggs it may have laid on its body are able to hatch and develop into maggots due to the warm, moist conditions present.
Maggots are the larval stage of a fly. They undergo metamorphosis, developing into pupae before transforming into adult flies. The pupae stage allows for the complete transformation of the maggot's body structure into that of a fly.
Maggots typically do not get inside the human body on their own. They may infest open wounds or areas with poor hygiene, laying eggs that hatch into maggots. Proper wound care and hygiene practices can help prevent maggot infestations.
Inside a sealed casket, the body can decompose at a slower rate due to reduced oxygen levels and microbial activity. The process of decomposition still occurs, with the body breaking down through natural processes such as autolysis and putrefaction. The fluids released from the body can mix with chemicals used in embalming, affecting the decomposition process.

If there are no flies then there will be no maggots. No flies, no eggs, no maggots.
Maggots are produced by flies, not by dead bodies. Whether maggots would appear will depend on whether flies land on the body. If the room is merely concealed (i.e. hidden) there's nothing to stop flies getting in. If you mean a sealed, airtight room then maggots would not appear.
Maggot is a general term for the larval form of an insect. They appear 2-5 days after an adult insect lays its eggs. In the case of a deceased animal, flies are usually the source of maggots. The flies lay their eggs after being drawn to the smell of rotting flesh. The eggs hatch into maggots and they get their nutrients from eating the body. This also aids in decomposition. Actually there is a field of forensics called forensic entymology or solving crimes by observing the insects/larva on a body. Each insect has a specific life cycle and the time it takes for the larva to hatch can be diagnostic.
What eats human corpses are not worms, but maggots. Maggots are the offspring of flies. Dead things tend to attract flies (the stench of rotting flesh may be disgusting to us, but lovely to flies), and those flies come and eat the flesh as well as lay eggs on the decaying body. Once the eggs hatch, you get maggots, which also consume the flesh/bodily fluids of the body.

The first bugs on a dead body are flies and beetles. Maggots and beetle larvae are also found on a dead body.
There may be any number of uses for an entomologist at a crime scene. But most typically, their expertise is used to help determine how long a body has been deceased, and how long it has been at the scene. For example, by examining the degree to which flies have been reproducing on/in the corpse, they can determine how long the body has been dead. If there are no live maggots present, then the flies have not had much time to lay eggs and hatch them, and therefore the body cannot have been dead for very long. Or, let's say you find a body in the woods that is badly decomposed, but, there are NO maggots on it. Clearly, the body cannot have been recently deceased, because it is so obviously badly decomposed. The absence of maggots would thus indicate that the body had been wrapped up and stored somewhere where flies could not land on it -- maybe wrapped in plastic garbage bags and stuffed into an old, broken refrigerator -- and then moved and dumped in the woods later. The absence of the flies/maggots would also tell you that whoever moved the body and dumped it could not have done so very long ago. Since the body has no maggots on it, it must have been dumped only a couple of hours before it was discovered. Or, there may be signs that a particular insect has been feasting on the body. Say you find evidence that sand flies have been eating a body. Sand flies are found only on the beach. But the body was found in the mountains. Thus, the presence of sand flies would be a sign that the body had been killed on the beach, left there for several hours, and then moved to the mountains later and dumped there.
Only if they are dead. Then their main goal would be to place eggs in the body of the guinea pig. The eggs turn into maggots, that then eat the guinea pig.
Flies lay their eggs on rotting flesh. The eggs hatch into small maggots. The maggots feed on the 'bad' flesh, and eventually hatch into flies (completing the life cycle). Because of the way maggots concentrate on rotten flesh, they are sometimes used to clear out infections. In fact there is at least one hospital supplying special flies & maggots that are clinically sterile, so they can be used to treat wounds

We are born with parasites, not maggots.
