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.
