Event fires more than once?

So I have this block of code that checks if the humanoid has died. If they have died, it sets their values to false and subtracts 1 from the playingPlayers value

for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
                if v.Character and v.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
                    local hum = v.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
                    hum.Died:connect(function()
                        v.fakestats:WaitForChild("IsAlive").Value = false
                        v.fakestats:WaitForChild("InGame").Value = false
                        playingPlayers = playingPlayers - 1 -- Right here, let's say theres 3 playingPlayers. Instead of going to
                        --2, it goes way down to like -35 or something.
                    end)
                end
            end

My issue: Let's say playingPlayers is at 3. Then someone dies. The script runs through and does everything correctly.. but instead of going from 3 to 2, it subtracts like 30 and goes down to -34 or something. Why does it do this? Why doesn't it just subtract ONE from the variable? Please help!
