Batter hits fair ball down the RF line and goes deep into the corner.
While rounding 1st, we have OBS with F4 causing B-R to stumble falling to one knee and then getting up and continuing. When B-R gets up, F9 has not yet gotten to the ball.
As B-R touches and passes 2nd base, should the delayed dead ball signal be dropped or continued? (No one-word answers. Please explain)

That would be up to you as the umpire. The obstruction is in effect until the runner reaches the base to which you have decided to protect him/her (or THEM as Dakota would prefer  )
