I agree he didn't see the ball contact the batter, but the situation where the BU kills the ball usually is that the PU sees that it was close, but is not sure of the contact. The BU confirms the contact, and then the PU makes the call on out/foul. The ball is dead, so if the PU is unsure, the umpires can talk.
