Does a blocker deal combat damage if it becomes tapped after blocking?

Several community members give the same answer in the forum threads; no official ruling.

Yes. Tapped blockers still deal combat damage, so you can tap a blocker for an ability after blocks without losing its damage. Only removing it from combat or killing it before damage stops that.
