If you want it phrased better (and grammatically correctly) --
<i>Have you ever known someone who has attempted or committed suicide?</i>
1. Wordiness hinders your reader/listener from understanding what you are really asking. Aim for concise phrasing.

2. "someone" is singular; "their" is plural -- see the problem?
