Umpires do communicate during live balls and it doesn't kill the ball.
But the moment the umpire started directing traffic during the play, imho he killed the play. When he tells the oblivious defense that play is live, and he does so while a runner is off a base, he ON HIS OWN put the offense at risk. No way should there be an out here.
