Football Junior Seau dead, probable suicide

where do we rate the suicide for attention seekers? Example, the other day call to 911 for help, "just took a bunch of pills and tried to kill myself". I'm first on scene, he/she wants water, has a bunch of paste in his/her mouth and lips. I say no, and ask what he/she took, answer was Ramelteon. Medic gets there, offers to let he/she have some water if he/she promises not to swallow it, only to rinse out his/her mouth. He/she swallows the water and the pills in front of us.

That was for attention, painfully obvious, but what if he/she died that night from the pills? Modern medicine is good, but sometimes it doesn't save everyone. Can I call those people idiots and pass judgement? Or should I say, "ahh, poor boy/girl, probably had a hard life, I'd probably be seeking attention anyway I could if I had been treated or seen what he/she saw."?
