Phantom:
I'm not counting him out yet. I believe that he would do it, but I don't think that he did it. Although I'm not going wait for any news too soon. I do still have hope he's alive; like Eagle (kind of) said, Phantom might have been stopped and put in isolation.
Well, I do know one thing. Overdosing on pills is actually quite difficult as your body has a tendency to vomit when it starts getting overdosed. So, he may have gotten very sick from it, but death is pretty rare, but certainly not impossible.
Pills is also a way for people who are in very serious depression to actually call for help. Hanging is a far more serious and known end for people attempting suicide since it's most likely going to result in death.
So, I am on the hopeful side of if he did go thru with it that he was unsuccessful since his route for the attempt is, for the most part, one of the the most unsuccessful types it would seem it might be a call for help more than anything. (I hope)
Still, it's sad to have a friend feeling like that and thinking that is the only way out because, fact is, it isn't the only way out. Ever.
