Can you give me some advice regarding how to handle a situation that occurred on Christmas Eve with my teenage daughter and her male friend?

On Christmas Eve my daughter was texting one of her friends when he made the statement "I might not be here in the morning" and "I took a bunch of sleeping pills". My daughter appropriately freaked out and told her mother (my wife) who in turn informed me. At the same time she was telling her mother she also texted the friend letting him know she had informed us and that we were calling the police to send to his house. He responded by telling my daughter that he had thrown up the pills and didn't want the police called and started blowing up her phone to convince us not to call the police. Since I had only been to his house once I was unsure where to send the police when I called them so I hesitated and didn't call them immediately (a HUGE mistake on my part). Unfortunately this gave him time to convince my daughter to not call the police and that he would be OK. So while I was figuring out how to handle the situation my daughter started freaking out about me calling the police and telling me "it will kill him" and other high drama teenage things. Being that we were at a family gathering at my parents house and my just wanting the situation to end I caved and told her we'd deal with it later as long as she was convinced he was not in any immediate danger. She continued to monitor him via chat and phone calls for the next 30 minutes until the clock ran out on her texting time allowance (it goes off at 9:00 P.M. every night) at which time she seemed fairly convinced that he'd be OK. She has since communicated with him and says he seems to be OK and is doing fine.

So here are my questions:

1. What should I do now? I don't know whether he actually took any pills and I am actually fairly doubtful that he did. Either way it's not a healthy situation for my daughter or her friend. If he actually took some pills then he may do it again and maybe next time something more serious will happen. If he didn't take any pills then the implications are that he's looking for attention from my kid and/or trying to manipulate her. Either way I don't like it and I especially don't like the effect it's having on my daughter.

2. Do I call his parents whom I've never met or had any contact with and inform them of their son's actions?

3. Do I ban my incredibly strong willed daughter from having any further contact with him which will more than likely force their friendship underground and her hiding things from us?

Obviously I'm confused and concerned about how to handle this and am pretty much grasping at straws by asking questions on Reddit, but any advice you can give would be welcomed and well received. Even if it's just you telling me to call someone else because this type of thing isn't your bailiwick.

Thank you for you time in reading this.

Thanks for taking the time to read and reply to my questions. I feel that you're right, as it was the same thing that I felt that I needed to do before even asking. For whatever reason it helps my resolve to follow through by having some stranger on the internet verbalize pretty much the same thoughts running through my head.

Thank you for taking the time to read and reply. I was pretty sure whilst typing my questions that I knew what I needed to do, but for whatever reason getting a strangers advice really solidifies my decision.
