First of all, "Colin" is a man's name. The body part is a "colon", which is the large intestine.

A ruptured colon is a serious problem because contamination from inside the colon will spread into the abdomen. An abscess, which is a localized infection, can occur, or the infection may become widespread.

How long it takes to become fatal depends on how much poop gets into the abdomen, the overall medical condition of the patient, and what treatments are instituted.

Death could occur within hours, or it may takes days. Of course, with treatment (surgical repair plus medication to kill infection), it need not be fatal at all.

My mother suffered a perforated colon. She was told by the doctors that it's like gun shot wound without the impact. Luckily we got her to the doctor in time because they told us she had roughly 3 to 4 hours to live. When the colon perforated her body was filled with all the bacteria inside the colon and it was infecting her insides. She is alright now, however she had to undergo serious surgery and still has problems with hernias.

If not treated promptly, a colon rupture can result in sepsis, an infection which can be fatal.

The bacteria that would get into your bloodstream would set up a pretty nasty infection that could prove fatal if untreated. Bacterial diseases can kill quickly, or can linger for years.
