The six-month-old baby of a prominent anti-vaxxer died from asphyxiation due to sleeping with her and not, as her mother claimed, because of the injections, according to a medical examiner's ruling on her death.
Evee Clobes died on March 1, 36 hours after her mother Catelin Clobes, 30, took her for her six month vaccinations.
She woke up to find Evee 'cold and pale' and has since claimed repeatedly that the vaccines are what killed her 'perfectly healthy' baby.
She had gone to bed the night before at home in Minnesota after breastfeeding Evee and drinking a whiskey cocktail.
But a medical examiner who examined the baby's body after she died ruled differently, instead stating on their report that Evee died from asphyxiation caused by co-sleeping with her mother.
According to an investigation by NBC, areas of her nose, chest, arms and legs were 'discolored and pooled with blood'. It was an indication that Evee had been face-down for a substantial amount of time.

The medical examiner revisited Evee's case at the insistence of her mother. She ruled that her death was caused by potential asphyxia and that it was due to co-sleeping on an adult bed
Initially, the medical examiner said they could not determine an exact cause but said co-sleeping was a significant factor.
When the same doctor was pushed by Clobes to review the case, she ruled that the baby had died as a result of co-sleeping.

ShareThey later wrote a letter explaining the decision which read: 'As you are aware, Evee wad found dead in an adult bed which also contained you, an adult-sized comforter, and adult sized pillows, factors which create an unsafe sleeping environment for an infant.
'All photos of Evie clearly show pooling of the blood over the front of her body and face, indicating that she was face-down in the bed when she died and for some time afterwards; this is supported by the presence of purge fluid on the sheet in the area where Evee was sleeping.
Evee's mother rejected the medical examiner's findings and said they frequently co-slept safely
'The examination by Detective Kramer specifically notes impressions on Evee's face due to being face down on blankets. Given these scene and autopsy findings, the most accurate diagnosis is potential asphyxia.
The autopsy found Evee had blood on her nose and front which was consistent with her lying facedown for a substantial amount of time
'Because there are no scene or autopsy findings and no scientific literature to support vaccination as a cause of or contributor to Evee's death, the death certificate will not be amended to include vaccination.'
The finding flies in the face of what Clobes and an online 'tribe' of anti-vaxxers claim - that the 'poisonous' vaccines killed her.
They believe so strongly that Evee died as a result of the vaccinations that they put her face on billboards which read: 'Perfectly healthy babies don't just die.'
Clobes rejected the medical examiner's report.
She did not immediately respond to DailyMail.com's inquiries on Tuesday but told NBC: 'I safely co-slept with my daughter, that has nothing to do with her death.'
Clobes now runs a popular Facebook account where she shares photos and stories of other babies whose parents believe they died as a result of vaccinations.
