1) R1 scores, R2 out, BR to first.
2) R1 to 3rd, R2 to 2nd, BR to first (after all, no outs had been completed at the point of the dead ball - I could argue in favor of this if I had to).
3) R1 scores, R2 and BR out (if it was obvious to the umpires that a double play was the most likely outcome)
4) probably more possibilities.
I would probably go with 1.

Thanks for saying it more succinctly.
