Former rugby league star Chris Caruana has opened up on how his life unravelled after he retired from football and got addicted to ice, leaving him on the brink of suicide.
Caruana played 10 seasons in first grade between 1992 and 2002, starring for both the North Sydney Bears and South Sydney Rabbitohs, the latter both before and after the club was kicked out of and then reinstated to the NRL.
Caruana, who signed for the Rabbitohs on a $1.2 million three-year deal at the height of his career, also appeared in the
