It is obvious the prudent thing would have been to admit him. Don't turn back those who talk about suicide and are taking powerful drugs.

True, He was already in crisis and to know that and try to combat their issues He was dealing with and be turned away. This was an Emergency that was ignored and the results were predicable not addressing this serious problem by ignoring Him. He was reaching out for the help, was turned down and gave up. The people that turned Him away are responsible for His death and that could have been prevented if they had just done their job !
