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

Really?
Yes, they are not immune to the law. It is not the fault of the perp that this officer was unable to maintain his vehicle on the road during a chase. If he did not know how to drive during a chase, he should not being chasing perps at high speeds.

Does he die if the crash never happens?

Well the death is a result of the suspect fleeing.
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.

If a doctor/car crash expert says that a seatbelt would have prevented death, then I dont see how the hell they get charged with manslaughter. The cop broke the law by not wearing his seatbelt

Glad to know you know there were no extenuating circumstances causing the cop to crash.

We'll never know. We know for a fact he doesn't if the chase never happens.

B.S. The cop's death is a direct result of him deciding to negligently pursue the perpetrator.

§31. Manslaughter
A. Manslaughter is:
(1) A homicide which would be murder under either Article 30 (first degree murder) or Article 30.1 (second degree murder), but the offense is committed in sudden passion or heat of blood immediately caused by provocation sufficient to deprive an average person of his self-control and cool reflection. Provocation shall not reduce a homicide to manslaughter if the jury finds that the offender's blood had actually cooled, or that an average person's blood would have cooled, at the time the offense was committed; or
(2) A homicide committed, without any intent to cause death or great bodily harm.
(a) When the offender is engaged in the perpetration or attempted perpetration of any felony not enumerated in Article 30 or 30.1, or of any intentional misdemeanor directly affecting the person; or
(b) When the offender is resisting lawful arrest by means, or in a manner, not inherently dangerous, and the circumstances are such that the killing would not be murder under Article 30 or 30.1.
