The Official Roll of the Baronetage still lists the 3rd baronet (and 3rd baron) as the current Baronet so maybe the Registrar has not been officially notified of his death?  Perhaps they wait for a member of the family to send them the Death Certificate rather than removing a name based on a death notice or obituary in the papers?  The barony is not on the Official Roll of the Peerage so maybe the Registrar of that Roll has been notified (although aren't the Registrars the same?) unless the late Baron never went on the Roll
