I don't have current a rulebook handy, but isn't this the last sentence of the rule section?
PENALTY FOR INTERFERENCE: The runner is out and the ball is dead.
What does no play being made on the "assisted" runner have to do with whether the ball remains in play or not? It's either dead or it isn't.
