From the top of my mind, Aleister Crowley formally and explicitly asked not to be resurrected, assuming the plausible possibility of that happening ahead of his time.
I think it makes sense to resurrect him anyway. We don’t know what exactly he has disliked in resurrection, and he didn’t know what the future humanity can offer.
It’s safe to assume that only people with a severe mental illness choose to die. This is true in any circumstances, regardless of how tragic they are.
So, if there is no mental illness in play, and Aleister understands what exactly he is losing, he may choose to die again.
In the future where we can do technological resurrections of distant ancestors, the field of psychiatry will certainly be advanced enough to cure all or almost all suicidal patients (in many cases, the cause is as banal as a minor biochemical deficiency). Thus, such deaths will (almost) never happen.
