Smart play on his part. The state can't execute a man that isn't mentally sound. So, by attempting suicide, he side steps execution. Oh, and of course he didn't try to actually finish it because he admitted to overdosing on medication.
I worked in a jail, and you can't let anyone die, even if they are on death row. As someone pointed out above, you will be sued.
So, the guy was very clever in getting himself a stay of execution. I don't know how long it will last, but every extra minute is a minute he wouldn't have had otherwise.
