Does this seem slightly fucked up to anyone else ?? :-/

An Italian policeman saved the life of a woman who was committing suicide online, by coaxing enough personal details out of her to direct emergency services to her home. The 41-year-old woman announced in an internet chatroom that she was going to kill herself, Italy's official news agency Ansa said.
She then began swallowing tablets to the horror of fellow chatters, who could see the suicide attempt unfolding via a webcam. Policeman Massimo Turbacci kept her talking online, coaxing out her mobile telephone number, which led authorities to her home address - in the town of Aversa, just outside Naples.
An ambulance raced to the house and took her to hospital where she is now out of danger.
