How can I make these two connections one?

local alive = {} --table that marks who are alive and who are not
local player_data = {} --table that stores data that will be deleted in the end of the round

for i,player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
    if player.Character then
        local character = player.Character
        local humanoid = character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")

        if humanoid and humanoid.Health > 0 then

            table.insert(alive,player)

            local died_connection

            local function died()
                table.remove(alive,i)

                if died_connection then
                    died_connection:disconnect()
                end
            end

            local died_connection = humanoid.Died:connect(died) --connection one

            player_data[player].died_connection = died_connection
        end
    end
end

local holder = alive --for balancing teams
local alpha,beta = {},{} --all team members, even the dead, so that they will be rewarded if team wins
local alpha_alive,beta_alive = {},{} --team members alive

--i left out the sorting system here

for team in tuple(alpha_alive,beta_alive) do
    for i,p in pairs(team) do
        if p.Character then
            local c = p.Character

            if c then
                local hum = c:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")

                if hum then
                    local team_value = Instance.new("StringValue")
                    team_value.Name = "TEAM"
                    team_value.Value =
                        team == alpha_alive and "ALPHA" or
                        team == beta_alive and "BETA"

                    local died_connection

                    local function died()
                        table.remove(team,i)

                        if died_connection then
                            died_connection:disconnect()
                        end
                    end

                    local died_connection = hum.Died:connect(died) --connection two

                    player_data.team_died_connection = died_connection
                end
            end
        end
    end

What I want is to make connection one and connection two one connection. But if I'd try to move the connection one lower so that I can have a longer died function that removes the player from both alive and team_alive tables, it might leave the player at spawn when the round starts if he/she resets. That is a huge problem, and I don't want to use 2 separate connections. I of course couldn't move connection two towards the first one, because the sorting hasn't happened there. I also don't want to sort players that won't join the round to teams. And sorting can't happen inside a for loop. There are rather more of fail attempts than solutions to this problem.
