Mate, it is extremely common for suicidal people to deny those thoughts. Here some stats, about 50 % deny it shortly before they actually do it. So saying "I will no kill myself" is really useless.

I'm not sure that's generalizable to this scenario. That's also pretty time constrained. Besides that, was there any evidence this person was depressed or otherwise suicidal? Maybe there is but i sure don't know if it.
