Well the death is a result of the suspect fleeing.

Or is it a result of the officer breaking the law and not wearing his seatbelt?

The cop wasn't wearing a seatbelt. He was breaking the law and his death was possibly a result of not wearing his seatbelt.

I'm aware, and as facts come out the charge may be more than justified, but it just seems a bit steep at the moment.

But not a direct result, so manslaughter won't stick

So if a cop makes a traffic stop and accidentally shoots himself while getting out of the car does that also result in charges? I mean, his or her death would be directly related to the traffic stop.

This situation is called unfortunate, it is not called manslaughter.

I'm just saying that's most likely why the perp was charged. Calm down guys.
