This is not true without qualification. Except for #1, it is a dead ball only if the runner has not attempted to advance beyond the base the runner would have achieved (in the umpire's judgment) had there been no obstruction. So, if (for example) in #2 the judgment was 1st or 2nd, then the out stands and the ball remains live. Same for #3 if the judgment was anything other than home.
