Omar Minaya's son breaks his silence on mother Rachel's 'shocking' death after she was found unconscious in bathroom of New Jersey home
The grieving family of Rachel Minaya, the wife of former New York Mets general manager Omar Minaya, revealed her mysterious death over the weekend has 'shocked' her loved ones.
Speaking to DailyMail.com outside the family's $1.1 million home in New Jersey, Rachel's youngest son Teddy said her sudden passing on Saturday has left a 'void' in their family.
'That's the only way to describe it,' he said. 'We love her, and we miss her - there will be a void... she'll be here with us in spirit.'
He added that his family hopes to issue a statement soon to clarify the situation, 'but for now, we're just we're just taking it easy, and want people to respect our privacy.'
Both Teddy and his older brother Justin, who plays for the Portland Trail Blazers, have returned to the family home with their father, who was not at the property at the time of Rachel's death.

Investigations into Rachel's passing, first reported by the New York Post, have ruled out suicide as a cause of death.
In a statement to DailyMail.com, Bergen County Prosecutor Mark Musella said the circumstances around Rachel's death 'do not appear suspicious', but did not offer details of the investigation.
Musella's office said Rachel was found 'unconscious and unresponsive' in the bathroom of her New Jersey home at just after 3:30pm on Saturday.
Following initial attempts to resuscitate her, Rachel was raced to Hackensack Meridian Health Pascack Valley Medical Center in Westwood, where she was pronounced dead.
Although noting the circumstances do not appear suspicious, officials stressed that the investigation is ongoing in conjunction with the Harrington Park Police Department.
Rachel is survived by Omar and their two sons, Teddy and Justin, the latter of whom suited up for both the Portland Trail Blazers and their G-League affiliate during the 2023-24 season.

Justin is back with the Trail Blazers Summer League team in Las Vegas this month. His father, Omar, appeared in the crowd during Wednesday's NBA Summer League action at the Cox Pavilion.
Rachel, whose maiden name is Albright, was a native of New Jersey who met Omar while working at a unisex salon in Manhattan in 1989, according to a 2007 Sports Illustrated article about her husband.
The article goes on to detail a moment when Minaya considered adding controversial reliever John Rocker, who previously made racist remarks about New York to Sports Illustrated years earlier.
Minaya admits he would have acquired the fiery reliever had it not been for his wife's disapproval.
Omar became baseball's first Hispanic general manager when he took the position with the Mets in 2004.
His tenure in Queens is best remembered for the blockbuster acquisitions of Boston Red Sox ace Pedro Martinez and All-Star outfielder Carlos Beltran.

Omar has worked for the New York Yankees as a senior advisor to GM Brian Cashman since 2023.
On Monday, the Yankees held a moment of silence to pay their respects to Rachel, as the team said it sent 'our deepest condolences to Rachel's family and friend's during this time.'
He previously worked as an executive for the Montreal Expos and as a scout for the Texas Rangers.
A native of the Dominican Republic, Omar moved to Queens at age 8 and grew up in Corona before becoming a star baseball player at Newtown High School in Elmhurst.
