Eligibility of Receiving Zakāt When In Debt

Assalam Alaykum w w, I asked a question a couple of weeks ago about my brother in law if he was eligible for zakat, he is a divorcee with 1 11 year old child, he does work but literally just gets by. He doesn’t have any assets. He is also in debt with a lot of people which he had done deliberately to please his wife. Recently he has been in an accident where he has broken 1 leg and 1 arm, which has been operated on. So he wants to go back to work because he has no income to support himself and his son. Please would appreciate a reply, as everyone has different views on whether he is eligible for zakat. Jazakallah Khair.
