The death of 22-year-old Amini while in police custody has ignited three weeks of nationwide unrest marking the biggest challenge to Iran's clerical leaders in years.
Her father has said she suffered bruises to her legs, and has held the police responsible for her death.
The coroner's report said her death was "not caused by any blow to the head and limbs". It did not say whether she had suffered any injuries.
Amini was arrested in Tehran on September 13 for "inappropriate attire", and died three days later.
Rights groups say more than 150 people have been killed, hundreds injured and thousands arrested by security forces confronting protests which erupted after Amini's death. The United States and its Western allies have condemned the crackdown.
Washington said it would continue to co-ordinate its response with its allies and partners, and Canada said it was expanding sanctions on groups related to Iran's Revolutionary Guards force, calling it a terrorist organisation.
France urged its nationals to leave Iran as soon as possible, citing a risk of arbitrary detention. The Dutch government also urged Dutch nationals to leave Iran and not travel to the country.
Referring to the day Amini collapsed in custody, the coroner said she had briefly regained consciousness but "cardio-respiratory resuscitation was ineffective in the first critical minute, resulting in brain damage".
The report noted pre-existing medical conditions linked to a brain tumour for which she had undergone an operation when she was eight years old.
"She died due to multiple organ failure caused by cerebral hypoxia," it said.
The police, who have enforced strict dress codes since Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution, have denied she suffered any harm, previously saying she suffered a heart attack.
Her family deny she had heart problems.
The government has ordered an investigation into her death.
During the nationwide protests demonstrators have damaged symbols of the Islamic Republic and called for the downfall of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
The government has described the protests as a plot by Iran's enemies including the United States, accusing dissidents - among others - of violence in which at least 20 members of the security forces have been reported killed.
Iran summoned the Danish ambassador on Friday to protest an incident at its embassy in Copenhagen in which its ambassador was threatened.
Danish police said they had arrested a 32-year-old Iranian man after he entered the embassy grounds carrying a knife.
Analysts do not believe the clerical establishment is close to being toppled despite growing frustration over strict social and political limitations imposed in the past four decades since the fall of the Shah.
Women have played a prominent role in the protests, waving and burning headscarves. High school girls have also taken part.
