Is it true people who threaten suicide are rarely the ones who actually commit suicide?

Not true. People who threaten suicide are "asking for help"; it means they're wondering if people out there will actually help them. If they don't find that help, then they still will commit suicide. Even if they do get help, they'll still probably need to see a professional. People who don't threaten suicide are thinking it's too hopeless and they can't get help. Even though this is how a lot of suicides happen, more often than not people voice their suicidal thoughts.

Is suicide illegal?

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.
