There is a DNC rule that says if the party nominee cannot remain on the ballot, then the person with the second-most delegates becomes the nominee. And that would be Bernie.

Interestingly, Sanders renounced his Democrat Party affiliation right after losing the nomination and went back to being an Independent.

That would be more ammunition for the party to invoke that vote to suspend, since Sanders has left the party.
