Liar who can't separate lies from reality

I know someone who is clearly planning to CTB. I know this person is already suicidal, and I definitely notice their psyche has been degrading for the past few months. Mentally ill, almost no friends, social withdrawal, ect; making a good candidate to CTB. Recently this person asked me strange ass things, like:
"What do you think is a good date between XX and YY?" - Weird because there's literally no reason to ask for a 'good' date, it's not like this person is going to propose or is planning marriage and such.
"Is it worth it to buy something you want if it's not going to be used for a long time?" - This person wanted to buy a new laptop for work, and was very eager to up to 2-3 weeks ago, but now they are leaning heavily towards 'NO' because "I'm not going to use it for long."
This person usually cares about what they eat (healthy), but now they don't care saying "I'm not going to do it for long."
and more subtle things, but it's 110% clear this person is planning to CTB. I'm in a daze right now, my mind is full of questions, What do I do? I'm fairly close to this person, I know their family will be devastated, I'm the only person currently even remotely close to this person, I don't want to be in any way responsible nor feel guilty. I know I can't just confront them, or call the police, or whatever. What should I do? Just pretend I don't notice and maybe let this person CTB? I know they may bail out last second, but I cant afford to take chance. Should I tell them or say smth to them? Should I call a professional and let them handle whatever comes next? I don't know what's the best course of action. I understand the struggle very well, I've gotten to a point where I wrote letters, but man, I cannot let this just happen. My brain is FRIED darn it
