A person does not go to Hell because God will not forgive them. A person goes to hell because they choose not to accept His forgiveness. We all get to choose for ourselves. Serious sin is how we tell God to bugger off and that we don't want Him in our lives, that we don't want His forgiveness. God's forgiveness is always waiting for us, even before we sin...but we have to repent and ask for His forgiveness. We have to choose to receive it, or reject it. It's up to us. I believe it's possible for someone who commits suicide to do that in the last split second of their lives. I'm so sorry about the loss of your friend. I don't believe anyone can say he's in hell, they don't know what his final moments were.
