'He couldn't help but' is the correct answer no doubt but shouldn't it be 'shed' instead of 'shedding'?

Couldn't help means could not live without. If we use couldn't help but it will mean that one couldn't live without but. And in one sentence no need of two negative thoughts so just neglect "but".

He could not help but shed tears at the plight of the villagers should be the correct way to write the sentence.
