Many, Many years ago, I used denatured alcohol to quick dry 4x5 film.
I've never heard of it being used to dry out camera. Plus, I think is would
also harm the lubricants and it leave a thin film on the surface.
The best advise, I've heard for a drowned camera is to seal it in a
plastic bag and send it off for repair.
