mikebran,
DG has given you the correct answer - for OBR.
Oddly enough, under FED rules, in the original situation you describe (i.e., the runner is beyond his advance base at the time the ball becomes dead) the runner who left early would be declared out on execution of a properly constituted appeal by the defense.
