Derek Poindexter was pepper sprayed by officers in October after refusing to spit an object out of his mouth.
The police thought he was chewing crack cocaine.
A medical examiner's report shows Poindexter had a high concentration of cocaine in his blood when he died.
But according to officials, a report on mouth swab samples have not been returned.
Poindexter's relatives say they are dissatisfied with the results and will request a follow-up investigation.
