I have a friend online who lives in the Keystone state. He clearly has depression. I contacted my friend in the state police there, yet he hasn't replied back to me yet. Who do I contact if I feel he may put him self or others in danger? I only keep in contact with him online.
Thanks

If he threatened his life, who do I contact?

Besides calling the police, is there any way I can do this online? I don't live in PA

You should call the police and tell them the situation. What they will do is send a car over to your friend's place, and they will check on him and assess the situation. But that is all they can do unless they see evidence that your friend is really going to hurt himself. They would then take him into custody and take him to the hospital for help.
You need to contact the police. If you don't live in Penn, then you need to call information and get the number for the local police.
there.
Good luck!

There is nothing the police can do unless he has threatened to hurt himself or others. Urge your friend to go to the ER or see a Dr.

This is probably set up on a county by county basis. Here is a list of numbers that may be of use.
