If you know this person IRL, do what you can to get them some help. I'm not sure what the laws are in your neck of the woods, but often you can get someone at least temporarily involuntarily committed if they are suicidal.
If this person is just an internet acquaintance, I'm afraid the best you can do (unless you have information about their friends and family and can contact them) is to give him the numbers of some suicide hotlines and urge him to contact them.
It's cliche, but I've heard suicide described as a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Absolutely depression can be treated, but it sounds like this guy is inching closer to the edge and should get some help quick.
