You aren’t going to resume a broken relationship because the person threatens to kill himself. That’s what mental health facilities and ER are for, they will help him out, or at the very least he could call crisis hotline.

It’s not your job to keep him alive and he needs to immediately stop telling you that
Agreed - I don't think he's threatening suicide per se. I think he's just wishing he weren't alive anymore, but not due to suicide.
