Now if the illness was a direct result of performing him contractual obligations, then yes they would of course have to pay him, just like anyone else that gets injured while doing so.
Pretty sure that is not the case though.

No, he could not be suspended.
It would be no different than if he was diagnosed with cancer.
Mental illness is no different than every other sickness or disease.
