Failed my first student. He’s email bombing me

Does this happen - sometimes? Rarely? Often?

Student with history of mental illness (per his description and more or less confirmed by student support). Graduating senior. Lost his father end of last year. Sympathetic and nice kid. Didn’t show up or engage for the first 6 weeks of a 14-week term. Blew the corrective plan i offered. Was told 4 weeks ago he’d fail. Now, he’s failed and he won’t stop emailing me. Long emails. Short emails. Started 2 days ago and now escalated to every 2, 5, 10, 20 minutes. Begging to get on the phone (we’ve had the conversation by phone twice and I’ve heard him cry and beg). Texted my personal phone too. I’m just asking : does this happen? Often? Rarely? Ever?
