I havent posted on here in a few months,just had a hard time keeping up on here and i realized i was on my computer WAY more than is normal LOL But i didnt leave completely

Here is my problem. I have been chatting with this guy,and he lives in another country so we're pretty far away and i dont know what i can do to help him. He is suicidal,and for the last 3 days he has been living in his car "waiting to die". I have tried to figure him out and i just get so frustrated when i try to help him and he comes back with a different reason why death is better than life.

I can't do much for him except type (we talk in messenger almost every day) but it does no good. I am not 100% sure is he serious but he ran away from his parents house to live in his car until he cant survive anymore. He is in love with the only girlfriend he's ever had who is in another country and married,and he doesnt believe (or want to believe) that he can find love again with someone who will love him back the same way. He hates his parents and says that killing himself would be better than having to deal with them trying to find him (now that he left home). This guy is in his late 20's so he should have more sense than this about it,but,there is just no helping him.

What can i say to him that will help him? Or is this a lost cause and i'll just have to talk to him every day as he slowly dies?
