Not a way to go

But some guy in Chile tried.
Just read a online story about a guy who stripped nude in a zoo in Chile and deliberately jumped into a lion's den to try to end his life.A note was found in his clothes telling of his intent.
He is alive but madly mauled and in the process to rescue him the zoo keepers had to kill two of the lions.
Not a good way to promote nudism for sure.

If he survives, he should be prosecuted for causing the death of two lions.

Hmmmmm ... do you have a link to the news story? I'm wondering ...
did this person proclaim to be a nudist in his note, left in his
clothes, that he was a nudist and that is why he took off his
clothes? Was there mention of any kind in the news story that he
was a nudist or merely the fact that he took his clothes off before
jumping into the lion's den?

Just because someone takes off their clothes, doesn't make them a
nudist and ... unless there is some sort of statement made that he
was doing this because of societies treatment of nudists ... how is
some deranged person's action of jumping into a lion's den connected
with promoting nudism? Too many times, simple nudity or nudity connected to someone doing something idiotic, gets connected
with nudism/naturism and simply being naked is not what nudism or
naturism is about.

Can you provide some quotes from the story or that link to the news
story please?

I read the story on CNN. The article I saw made no mention of nudist anything but that he was frustrated.

He probably stripped off his clothes as a way of making it easier on the lions to devour him after they killed him, as he was apparently wanting them to do. Not that he was a nudist and wanted to go out his way, he just didn't want the lions to have any trouble eating him quickly. Even if the lions had successfully killed him and started feeding on him, they would have still been killed, I'm sure, as they could then not be trusted around their regular handlers, and might try to attack them sometime in the future.
