Friend is threatening suicide. Anyone have any insight?

Well tonight I received a weird text from a good friend back home.
him "sorry"
me "for what"
him "for being me, I know I've hurt you and everyone else I know"
me "everyone hurts someone at some point man, we are all good, you know that. You alright?"
him "love you man."
me "love you too dude. But seriously... you alright?"
him "I hate myself"
me "don't say that man, I think you have got a problem. But don't worry, problems are all solvable.
him "me not being around will be the only way to solve it"


After that I phoned him. He was absolutely losing it, screaming how no one gives a fuck about him, and the only way they will is at his funeral. I asked him if he was at home and he said no. Then he said "this will be the last time you talk to me" and hung up. I phoned the cops, gave them all his info, car description and all that shit and also his roommates. After that which took about 10 minutes his roommate called me and said he was on the way to the hospital, taking my friend there. He had been making the threats to him as well over the phone, but then ended up showing up at home continuing the threats.

Now he's been texting me, I guess he is in the psych ward. Saying stuff like "you all got what you wanted"
"you finally broke me and proved I'm crazy"
"you don't get it"
He's still texting me thing like this at the moment. Just turning everything on the friends that are trying to help him. He's done stuff like this before, honestly maybe 20 + times, but never so serious. I don't really know what the next step I can take to help him is. Maybe he doesn't want to be helped? Does anyone have experience similar to this that has come out positively after so many times? This is definitely taking a lot out of me. Anyways. Insert csb here. But seriously any insight would help.
