Gore Vidal wrote a novel, Messiah, on this same idea. A blurb describes it thusly: "When a mortician appears on television to declare that death is infinitely preferable to life, he sparks a religious movement that quickly leaves Christianity and most of Islam in the dust. Gore Vidal's deft and daring blend of satire and prophecy, first published in 1954 [sixty-eight years ago], eerily anticipates the excesses of Jim Jones, David Koresh, and the Heaven's Gate suicide cult."
