If the plant is dead it won't help to leave the bunch on. I would cut them.

Maybe it would help to cut way back on the water after fruit set.

Oh yeah, they should ripen up fine at this point. Cut the whole bunch and bring them in. You may as well get ready to start sharing because you are going to have a lot of ripe bananas at once! Congrats!
