I'm glad you're managing to avoid him.
Don't let the suicidal thing bother you too much. (Not that it isn't a horrible thing.) It seems to me he is the type who is just plain suicidal on general principles, whether you were there to hold his hand or not. You've done nothing to drive him to the brink of suicide. He was already there, teetering precariously. He needs real, professional help, the sort that you are not qualified to give.
Even if he were to do the unthinkable, and kill himself now, it would not be because of you. No matter what any suicide note would say. It would be because of his own imbalances, and perhaps something in the past that set him down that road.
I've dealt with suicidal people before. (Even been one, but that was years ago.) And I've found that it's important to remember that you cannot cause a suicide. It is the choice of the person who does it. All you can do is help (if you are in a position to do so, which you aren't) or get out of there, before one suicidal person turns into two.
You are doing the right thing, I am convinced of it.
