Really, the best thing is to just go to the police. If they really are suicidal, you may save someone's life; if they're just pulling a silly prank or trying to troll, being told by someone with a badge and a gun that it's Really Not Funny is probably not a bad thing anyway. I don't think one can adequately assess the seriousness of a suicide threat based solely on a short online communication.
This is pretty much what the Met Police officer I dealt with told me when I reported another suicide threat back in October.

I don't actually believe any of this should be codified. It is *not* a volunteers job to assess /OR/ report. They do so of their own accord, but we should not encourage it.
