Roblox Functions are running 20+ times - roblox

Question

I seem to be having an issue of every time I want to pass a function when an event happens such as a Humanoid.Died() or a BindableEvent it runs the function 20+ times, also adding to an IntegerValue that many times as well. I have tried debounces, BindableEvents, connection:Disconnect(), etc. Is there something I'm doing wrong or missing?
Updated original code:
function module.damageHumanoid(attacker, player, humanoid, damage)
local connection
local debounce = false
connection = humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
if not debounce then
debounce = true
connection:Disconnect()
module.onDeath(player)
end
end)
if player:FindFirstChild("damage") == nil then
newFolder = Instance.new("Folder")
newFolder.Name = "damage"
newFolder.Parent = player
end
if newFolder:FindFirstChild(tostring(attacker)) == nil then
record = Instance.new("IntValue")
record.Name = tostring(attacker)
record.Parent = newFolder
end
if record.Value >= 100 then -- sanity check
else
record.Value = record.Value + damage
end
return humanoid:TakeDamage(damage)
end
Which triggers this code:
function module.onDeath(player)
if player:FindFirstChild("damage") ~= nil then
local folder = player:WaitForChild("damage")
local contents = folder:GetChildren()
for i,v in pairs(contents) do
local item = folder[tostring(v)]
damages[item.Name] = item.Value
end
end
local debounce = false
if not debounce then
debounce = true
module.handleKill(damages)
end
end
This is the sword script's function:
function Blow(Hit)
if not Hit or not Hit.Parent or not CheckIfAlive() or not ToolEquipped then
return
end
local RightArm = Character:FindFirstChild("Right Arm") or Character:FindFirstChild("RightHand")
if not RightArm then
return
end
local RightGrip = RightArm:FindFirstChild("RightGrip")
if not RightGrip or (RightGrip.Part0 ~= Handle and RightGrip.Part1 ~= Handle) then
return
end
local character = Hit.Parent
if character == Character then
return
end
local humanoid = character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
if not humanoid or humanoid.Health == 0 then
return
end
local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
if player and player == Player then
return
end
UntagHumanoid(humanoid)
TagHumanoid(humanoid, Player)
module.damageHumanoid(plur, player, humanoid, Damage)
end

So I guess the way I was trying to use debounce isn't correct anymore. I referred to the Roblox documentation and found this: https://create.roblox.com/docs/scripting/scripts/debounce
If anyone would like to know what ended up working for me here it is:
humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
if not humanoid:GetAttribute("Killed") then
humanoid:SetAttribute("Killed", true)
module.onDeath(player)
task.wait(10)
humanoid:SetAttribute("Killed", true)
end
end)
