Worrying about suicidal people online - ways to stop fearing the worst?

I have a thing when people online (real, or fake) say they are feeling suicidal or have attempted. What tips are there for us when someone online says this, to get closure or know if they are okay? Basically I want to know ways to find out an online stranger hasn’t died? Any tips or ideas?

Go to work for Homeland security or CIA or something of the sort. That way you can keep all the tabs you want.

@MayorOfCrushtown You make it sound like they would let you work for them just by asking.

I have been making threads about my spy like skills in social media since 2008 and even had couple of them roam around me. Still no job offers whatsoever.

Very disappointed. Now I am offering my services to China.
