It may be a stereotype that they are. I imagine an extrovert would generally take a bigger hit if s/he were cut off from friends and/or family, and they might more susceptible to loneliness, because they would be bothered by alone-ness more than an introvert would. I can think of much worse things than being alone or even isolated, or experiencing things that make me feel that way for extended periods of time; someone more extroverted than I might not be able to.
On the other hand, an introvert might be considerably less likely to seek help or talk about their problems with others, and this is something that a lot of people seem to agree helps them cope with their suicidal feelings. On the other, other hand, maybe a lot of introverts aren't as likely to find it helpful to talk about things with others in the first place, and so consciously avoid doing so (as is the case with me).
