Does Vex survive combat cleanup if Baron Nashor dies before damage is cleared?

Question

I cast Void Seeker on Vex. I attack with my Baron Nashor and the opponent's Baron Nashor and Vex. I assign lethal damage to the opponent's Baron Nashor. Does Vex lose Baron Nashor's +2 Might immediately, letting me kill Vex at 4 Might with 4 marked damage? Or is Vex healed before or at the same time as the +2 is lost?

During combat cleanup, units with lethal damage die first (both Baron Nashors in this case; Vex does not die yet). Baron Nashor's buff stops applying, but the game does not recheck lethal damage before the next cleanup step. Units are then healed, so Vex survives the combat.
