Let's say there were no cameras around.
That mysterious organization wouldn't have had serious problem to get away with the deaths of Elijah and Kevin: they could claim that Elijah was fatally injured and no medical treatment could save him, while Kevin was a total psycho and was endagering the people in the area so they had no choice but to shoot him. But what about David? How could they get away with drowning him?

They can't hence why the Doctor was screaming at the end. She's up shit's creek and she knows it.
However, let's take your scenario, with no cameras around they could explain David's death as either happened during his fight with Kevin. Or an accident the occurred while he was resisting arrest. That's how police get away with stuff these day, isn't it? Heck, IRL that excuse even works when the whole thing is filmed and shown untrue.

Hmm... if David was beaten to death, yes, they could have got away with that - claiming that either Kevin did that, or that David was resisting arrest and they had no choice but to use "reasonable" force, like you said. But by drowning?! That's not so plausible.

Without the footage, they could say that David was knocked unconscious face down onto a puddle by Kevin which resulted in him drowning.

This is what happens when a movie maker produces a film that is essentially some kind of thriller, and then in a sequel pivots it to a more or less straight superhero film.
No one asks why Superman or Batman get away with so much killing. Sure it does pop up from time to time, like when Batman goes apeshit about Superman's reckless killing, or The Daily Bugle has a campaign against The Spiderman. But in the genre these are mere obstacles to the protagonist. The question is really about how these heroes sometimes battle with public support. It isn't anything forensic about the legalities of these multitudinous deaths.
The OP is really applying the sensibilities of a different genre: whatever Unbreakable was, it wasn't a superhero movie. That's not the fault of any of the posters on this thread. It is a problem that relates to a sequel that is completely different in character to the original.
But to reply to the OP in good faith, the answer is that no hospital in this universe could get away with 5 murders in one day without pretty much everyone concerned losing their jobs or going to prison.
