If someone with multiple personalities threatens to kill himself is it considered a hostage situation or a murder?
it would be suicide as he's threatening to kill himself, not anyone else or another personality. however he would be innocent in a court of law due to mental illness
i am not sure but i don't think it's either because someone with multiple personalities doesn't always know that they have multiple personalities so by killing themselves they are not really murdering anyone. Also, this is a illness therfore they have not forcibly kept their other personalities locked away as they don't really have any control over when these "other people" burst out.
Another, reason for it not to be a murder is -assume that this person only has one personality-themselves. If they want to kill themselves in their current one-minded state they are again not in control of the other "people (prsonalities that they kill) as that was not their intention.
I don't know if this is right or if even makes sense (but it made sense in my head)

What If someone with multiple personalities threatens to kill himself is it considered a hostage situation?
yes yes it is
If someone with multiple personalities threatens to kill himself is it considered a hostage situation?
It is. If someone without multiple personalities tries to kill his/herself, in the books, it's a hostage situation. It's illegal to kill yourself, and you can go to jail for it. Usually, cops look at it like J-Walking, not in the sense that they look the other way, but that they overlook the fact that they're attempting to break the law in order to save them. If you were on a bridge, would you want a cop saying "GET DOWN FROM THERE SO WE CAN ARREST YOU AND THROW YOU IN JAIL!"? No, you wouldn't.
If a schizophrenic threatens to commit suicide does that count as a hostage situation?
You are confusing dissociative identity disorder, also known as multiple personality disorder, with schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a disorder in which the person suffering loses touch with reality. Dissociative identity disorder is a disorder in which the person suffering believes him or herself to have multiple personalities coexisting in one body. See the related questions for a more in-depth exploration of what the two illnesses are. As the 'personalities' are not real people, a threat of death to them would not be viewed as a hostage situation.
