Does someone attempt suicide?
National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (1-800-273-8255)
There are many pieces of media that include suicide attempts, even if the character in question does not die. A piece of media with this would not fall under the "Does a character die by suicide?" category, so there would be no warning of there being an attempt shown or implied. Even if a character doesn't die, seeing an attempt can be just as triggering and harmful as if the character had.

S3 E7: A man has tried to kill himself - due to his family having been killed in a fire - just before the episode starts, and we're told that it was his third attempt. He's been failing because a supernatural entity won't let him die. Soon after, we see him jump into a huge pot of boiling water; again, it doesn't kill him, but it leaves him badly burned. Later on, another man points a gun at his own temple and pulls the trigger - because his son and wife have been murdered - but the gun doesn't fire.

(No specific spoilers) There are mentions of a “suicide” and method, and a body, BUT it is quickly revealed not to be a suicide. So no actual suicide, but there are mentions.

Technically no (spoilers ahead), but there is a scene where someone is hanging by a noose. Not by their own will, but still freaked me out a bit.

A man throws himself and an officer there to arrest him off some building scaffolding and they fall onto the rescue cushion that the fire department had set up. The man knew the cushion was there and this didn’t seem like a suicide attempt.
