Really sad
Suicide wasn't the answerIf only he could understand that. There's a different way depressed people think. And the more people who understand this, the better we can help depressed people.
I just saw a gory video on twitter of a lady who bled to death in front of people simply because they didn't know they had to put pressure on wound and stop the bleeding as first aid.
Same way, there are first aids to depressed and suicidal people. And I'm sorry to disappoint everyone: saying SUICIDE IS NOT THE ANSWER just doesn't hit home.
There's got to be a better word. One that will hit home. Things like: things to be grateful for already. Things to live for.

You are right but in this case I don't think those words would have helped as he already had suicidal thoughts, anyone who could think of ending it all will likely stop if and only if a solution is provided to their predicament, I also saw a video about last two months of an old man about to jump in a lake and commit suicide, passerbys or friends as reported were encouraging him on why he shouldn't kill himself, but at the end he jumped, also a police officer was sent to stop someone from commiting suicide, he met him and told him to state just two reasons he wanted to end it and he will give him ten reasons why he shouldn't, after telling him why, at the end both committed suicide, the police officer was also suffering from depression. That is why at that point I don't encourage anyone to motivate or give them hope as they have made up their mind at that point, but rather tell them the solutions to their problems or possibly helping them out
