At the very least, this pilot is not medically eligible to fly.

This is no different than that hypothetical question you get during an interview "what would you do if you smelled alcohol on the captains breath". Same situation here my friend. If you are a Captain, you should understand your responsibility here. What does your training, experience, and judgment tell you here?
While I don't know if it's to the point of suicide, whoever knows that individual does need to make sure that they are removed from the line and get counselling. Imagine getting an emergency in an aircraft and having that useless whining sack of flesh next to you when you really need 2 well functioning pilots? I don't want my family or anyone else's family in that airplane.
