Is it possible to remove a string from a table?

Need to know if it's possible to remove a string from a table by it's name, when they die.

Thanks

for i,checkdeath in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
for i,playersplaying in pairs(playing) do
checkdeath.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died:connect(function()
print("user died")
if string.lower(playersplaying) == string.lower(checkdeath.Name) then
table.remove(playing, playersplaying)
print("found and removed")
print(playersplaying)
else print("User not found in table")
print(playersplaying)
end
end)
end
end
