I would never lend money to a coworker -- that's asking for an awkward situation, but what if it were a family member or close friend? Assuming it's the first time it happened, a loan might be tempting, though as you suggest, probably a bad idea!

He knew for a while that he was going to be late with rent. That would have given him some time to liquidate something. Craigslist, eBay and yes! a pawnshop if all else fails. (NEVER A PAYDAY LOAN EVER!) I would NEVER take a cash advance from a credit card. That is only making matters worse. Also, if I was late on my rent (or mortgage) I'd take a good hard long look at my spenditures. Where is my money going? What am I spending it on? Rent (mortgage) comes first, then food, then utilities. Everything else can go on hold for a while. I'd be packing my lunch, coffee, snacks-whatever- and seriously STOP all spending of money till I get my financial matters in order. QUICKLY. Maybe you could invite the guy out for coffee and ask him how things are. I'd offer him advice only. Absolutely NO MONEY. But I would sure let him know I was available to listen and help.
