My sister was 15 when she tried to commit suicide. No warning no divorce she wasn't depressed etc.

She did it on a Friday night when she new my dad always goes out after work with his friends and my mom did grocery shopping on her way home. She went into my parents room and took a whole bottle of Valium. My mom had just filled it. I was sick with chicken pox and my grandmother had just left. If it was not for my sisters friend who was over watching TV with me she would have died. Her friend went into her room and found her and we called for help. Back then if you knew the ER doctor then you did not have to go to the psych hospital. So she came home the next day and did not get the help she needed.

We were told not to talk about it and to this day we still do not talk about it.

Make sure your daughter gets the help she needs and please make sure the friend who called your wife does not get picked on by other students. She did the right thing. I have always been upfront with my kids about stuff like that. And our house has been the house that the kids always came to. Because of that I was able to stop 2 kids from trying suicide.

Just know you are not alone.
