AIUI the tidal forces and spacetime distortion are such that any matter falling in inevitably breaks apart into an accretion disk. It should be impossible for a whole body to enter a black hole intact.

All this is for a spinning black hole, of course, which most (all?) are.




Tidal forces at the event horizon of supermassive black holes are negligible.
