[The Fly 1986] Is it possible that Seth Brundle died the second he used the telepod and the person throughought the rest of the film is just a clone?

Like, he mentions that the things in th telepod are disintegrated or something. Is it possible that the original Seth Brundle simply died, and the Seth that goes through the horrific transformation through the rest of the film is simply a (nearly) perfect clone? If anything, the integration of fly DNA almost makes it seem as if it is a different organism, merely with Brundle's memories.

That kind of teleporter is the sort that leaves a body (or at least all the elements the body was made from) on the launch pad and requires a feed of elements at the other end.  He doesn't seem to be using that kind of teleporter.
