Perceptions: Judas' death - a contradiction

So Judas threw the silver coins into the temple and left. Then he went out and
hanged himself. - Matthew 27:5

Now this man Judas acquired a field with the reward of his unjust deed, and
falling headfirst he burst open in the middle and all his intestines gushed out.
- Acts 1:18



Two contradictions here. The first passage says that Judas gave back the money, and hanged himself. The second passage says he bought some land with the money (so I guess he didn't give it back) , and he fell down and burst open his body, and his intestines came out.

Another contradiction in the NT. Only one of these can be true, because you cannot die twice, and you cannot give back and keep the money.
