At least it was just an attempt. We had a ROTC guy who hanged himself in his closet rather than face the reality that his shitty grades were going to get him kicked out. He did this over thanksgiving so his roommate found him when he got back. The poor roommate is now scarred for life.
(also, we never figured out how he managed to actually hang himself as few of us believed the closet bar could hold that much weight and it wasn't all that high, either, so the dead kid was really damned determined.)
Wow, that's rather creepy. One of my suitemates my freshman year threatened to jump out the window once, but fortunately she didn't. Of course, later she ended up instititionalized because she thought she was Jesus, but... yeah. Messed up people tend to snap under stress, and it's not too hard to find stress in college.
