However I don't think this person was trying to end their life - I think it was a cry for help. If so, then surely providing that help would be the best thing a friend could do. The form of help may be up to debate.
I had something similar happen when one of my closest friends texted me and told me what she was going to do, took a dozen paracetamol and drank some coke. I immediately called an ambulance in her area and had it dispatched to her house. She opened the door to them and they took her to hospital and pumped her stomach. She's alive and well today and could easily not be: all she would have had to do is not tell me.
