It had been initially thought that up to 22 people were inside the cathedral when the 6.3 magnitude quake struck on February 22.
However, a search of the building, including the collapsed spire, has been completed and no bodies were found, it was reported today.
Superintendent Sandra Manderson told Radio New Zealand that recovery teams were elated to have found no bodies.
She said it was likely that the estimated final death toll of 220 would be revised. The confirmed figure currently stands at 163.
