In some countries, suicide is illegal.
In the UK for example it is also illegal to fail to prevent a suicide you knew was going to take place. Failing to prevent a suicide you knew was going to happen in the UK and some other countries can get you charged with the offence of "Assisted Suicide" or "Suicide Accomplice".
Although suicide is illegal in some countries, the individual will not face criminal arrest. Instead they will be summoned to attend counselling and medical procedures to help them overcome the suicidal thoughts.
However, if the individual continues to attempt suicide or fails to show for a summoned counselling session, a warrant may be issued for your arrest in some countries.
For example, under the Mental Health Act of the UK, you can be arrested and imprisoned within a specialist psychiatric hospital if you are believed to be a serious risk to yourself.
