| Some recent media reports suggested Mr Woolmer, 58, may have been injected with snake venom before he died.
"It is not snake venom," deputy commissioner of police Mark Shields, who is heading the investigation, said.
Pathology and toxicology tests were nearly complete and police hoped to have the results soon, Mr Shields said.
Mr Woolmer was killed in his Kingston hotel room the day after his side lost to Ireland in the cricket World Cup.
Mr Shields said speculation about poisoning was "causing a lot of distress" to Mr Woolmer's family in South Africa.
"The priority is to see the truth. We are seeking experts and taking time to conduct a thorough investigation," he added.
CCTV confusion
Mr Shields said CCTV footage from Mr Woolmer's Kingston hotel room had been examined and the police had "an array of photographs which may or may not help in the investigation".
He said reports that the footage showed a man leaving Mr Woolmer's room may be wrong, because cameras on that floor were placed in the hall area near the elevator.
Mr Shields will soon visit South Africa to see Mr Woolmer's family and talk to police there.
Two officers from Pakistan who went to Jamaica to help with the investigations are now leaving after working with local police for three weeks.
"I am leaving the island fully satisfied with the progress of investigations, which are heading in the right direction," Mir Zubair Mahmood, a deputy inspector general of Pakistan police said.
