I'm sorry that you had to go through something like that. It really puts you in an uneasy situation.
Sometimes when people threaten suicide when breaking up, they are using it to try and manipulate the other person. They can't bear to live without them so they act out in desperation. Low self-esteem can also contribute to this.
I think though that if he really wanted to commit suicide he wouldn't have told you. Most people who do it won't say anything, and the people who tell someone they are suicidal are crying out for help.
I must honestly say though that I would recommend not going on with this relationship. He obviously has some trouble controlling his emotions and needs some professional help. He should respect your decision to take a break from the relationship and not do something selfish like that.
