People who are fascinated with the details of others’ suicide should be followed up on.

In the United States, many cities, counties and local non-profits also have established crisis lines that can be accessed as well. Many of these lines, as well as suicide prevention lines can provide information on where those left behind by suicide can find help and support.

Canada
We really don't have a national program yet in Canada, our resources tend to be at the provincial levels. This website is not a hotline, but has a link the crisis centres available in each province:
http://suicideprevention.ca/need-hel...ts-of-suicide/
If you are in crisis you can also call 911 from most parts of Canada, or go to your nearest hospital.

If a distressed member is located in the USA, this may be a useful resource that does not require local knowledge:
New ‘988’ mental health crisis hotline launches Saturday (16 July 2022).
Starting Saturday, people in a mental health crisis will be able to call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline (formerly known as the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline). It’ll connect people with mental health counselors 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
