Sid, would that not depend on the height at which the blades stopped rotating?

What I mean is, if not at the "end of the autotorotate" as in the question posed by Chris, but in general terms. If the collective was fully raised at say, 300 feet, and held up, with both engines producing little or no torque, would the blades not stop rotating, and stay stopped?
