The key piece of information to make the call is missing - where was the batter (assuming the bat was still in her hands)?
There is no ruling that would result in dead ball, runner returnes in this situation.
Batter still in the box & doing nothing intentional to interfere with the throw - live ball, play on, stolen base.
Batter out of the box or intentionally interfering with the throw - dead ball, runner out on interference by the retired batter.
If the batter had not been out already, it would be dead ball, batter out, runner returns.
