Rory Staunton (13 May 1999 – 1 April 2012) was a young boy from Queens, New York whose death from sepsis created a nationwide movement to address the issue of childhood sepsis and its treatment. Following his death, both Jim Dwyer columnist from The New York Times and Op Ed Columnist Maureen Dowd both wrote about his death and the medical errors that preceded it. His father and mother Ciaran Staunton and Orlaith Staunton appeared on NBC Today Show and the Doctor Oz Show discussing his death which they stated was due to hospital errors. An investigation by the New York State Department of Health into the death of Rory Staunton revealed that his treatment at NYU Langone Emergency Room in New York City did not meet the basic standards of care.
