Don't ask him about it. If he wants to tell you about it, he'll approach you. Not to be rude or anything, but if you two aren't really good friends or anything, then his suicide attempt isn't really your business.
Is it necessary to understand his reasons for wanting to end his life? While you have the right to feel whatever you feel, I'm not sure being angry at him for not seeking help (even with resources available) is productive or even fair. A suicide or a suicide attempt isn't always a call for help. It isn't always a "last resort." Seeking help can be difficult, and not everyone who is suicidal even wants to be helped.
Contrary to what others have suggested... I wouldn't go out of my way to put on a happy face and a positive vibe... It's kind of hard to ignore that huge pink elephant standing in the office, but at the same time, if you're suicidal, then you're probably not feeling too good about life or about yourself, and seeing a lot of happy smiley people around may make things worse rather than better.
And if you haven't asked him to hang out with you outside of work before, then now may not be the perfect time to start...not right away, anyway. He may just think you're doing it out of pity.
Kind of an awkward situation. Good luck.
