Suicide Illegal: Should It Be?

You should be able to find assistance from people who know how to handle this at http://www.suicide-helplines.org/
Being there as a friend would also help.

@brewnog: I think the reason life insurance companies don't pay for suicide is they would feel like they had a hand in it. If a person was having severe financial problems and knew he could get $500,000 for his family by committing suicide, he would be more likely to try it.

Yeah. That's why they don't pay for suicide. They don't want to feel guilty.
it has absolutely nothing to do with losing 500,000 dollars afterwards.
