No, very few creatures can survive being frozen because the ice crystals that form inside cells rip them apart.
A fridge is not cold enough to freeze something - most likely the fly was just cold not "completely frozen".
There's a big difference between being frozen and being very cold - when a fly (or even a human) gets very cold without freezing their body systems slow down and they become lethargic then unconscious. Eventually their life giving processes slow so much that they cannot be restarted and they die. Your fly had obviously not reached this stage - it was probably hypothermic and unconscious but still alive. Warm up an organism that's hypothermic (but still alive) and they will often recover completely.

Yes we can be frozen and come back to life. There was this case where a Medical student in Russia was struck by a car and he lost all vital signs. So,they thought he was dead. They put himin a morgue where it was cold. They kept him there for 4 days until the day of his autopsy. Just before they cut into him. His eyes opened and he was alive again.

Some animals have varies kinds of antifreeze, like sugars, in their blood and can survive freezing temperatures. When our cells freeze, the crystals destroy the endoplamic reticulum and other membranes inside the cells. You cannot freeze a human fast enough to prevent the formation of the crystals, so it is not possible with current technology. You can freeze cells and embryos and bring them back to life.

At present our technology is not up to bringing you back to life.
We seem to be able to put people into liquid nitrogen and do it quickly enough for the ice crystals not to be too much of a problem (at least in theory) but we can't revive people (and it also takes a lot of preparation, things like replacing your blood with antifreeze).

nicely enable me enable you to realize what I do and the two you will persist with, or it supply you a concept. :) i exploit the Lansinoh breast milk storage luggage, as quickly as I fill it with 6 oz.. then I place it in my freezer in my kitchen, the next day I circulate it to our deep freezer in the storage. the reason I do it incredibly is so the bag will freeze flat, subsequently saving area in the deep freezer. i would not propose making use of the liners, because of the fact they are not freezer risk-free. they might rip in the time of storing and you won't understand till you thawed it and had milk throughout your refrigerator shelf. :( I additionally would not propose making use of the ziplock luggage, because of the fact even the smallest luggage are tricky to attend to with liquid and you will possibility spilling breast milk. till you have an overabundant grant of breast milk, ever drop is and could be coveted. additionally, you won't want to place the milk in the lining and screw on the nipple and freeze, this might go away the milk open to oxygen, that could ruin the milk at as quickly as even while it incredibly is frozen. you want to seal the luggage thoroughly to maintain the integrity of the milk. good success, and great job making the strategies-blowing option to breastfeed your toddler, it incredibly is the suitable present you would be able to offer a toddler!

There was a story about a Japanese guy that was froozen for nearly a month that came back, but I can't find the story on line, and it could have been crap.
Anyways, under the most controlled conditions- no.

maybe with bugs. The problem with doing that with humans is that the shock is too much for our bodies. The freezing part is easy it is just melting that will kill you. But i could see a bug surviving it.

no way!!!
The proteins in body (including the ones in your brain) will not function properly after being frozen. This will cause for everything in your body to fail to function, thus you'll be dead.
